Sonya Yoncheva has established herself as a much sought-after and celebrated soprano with engagements at the foremost opera houses. This season Sonya Yoncheva will be again one of the big stars at the Metropolitan Opera. She will make her debut in the title role of Verdi's "Luisa Miller" and Puccini's "Tosca" and will also take on the title role of "La Bohème". Her performances will be broadcast in cinemas worldwide. For her third album for Sony Classical, the Operalia-winning soprano, Yoncheva turns her attention to the work of a composer for whom many feel she has always had a special affinity: Giuseppe Verdi. Yoncheva began her career in the world of baroque music, closely supported and encouraged by the early-music conductor William Christie (This bore fruit in her second Sony release, a successful album of arias by Handel). But it was always clear that the remarkable sound of the young artist also included within it the potential of a big, luscious, powerful voice ideal for Verdi's most demanding roles - a rare voice type known as a 'dramatic lyric' soprano. This voice requires an extraordinary combination of talents: a superb control of breathing, an ease of tone over a large range, enormous reserves of power, a variety of vocal colours, and - most elusive of all - an instinct for Italian musical phrasing. As audiences and critics have discovered in her performances of Rigoletto and Don Carlos Sonya Yoncheva is one such soprano. After her triumph in La traviata, the newspaper Die Welt even declared that 'she is the finest Violetta The music of Verdi forms the lodestone of most dramatic-lyric sopranos, and Yoncheva includes arias from some of the composer's rarely-performed operas in addition to some of the most beloved ones. From the early operas, she sings arias from Nabucco (1842), Attila (1846), Luisa Miller (1849) and Stiffelio (1850). The latter aria is a prayer of forgiveness from a woman, the wife of a pastor, who has been unfaithful. 'The emotional range of this aria is amazing, and musically it uses the whole voice from high to low- but amazingly it all happens in about two minutes. ' Yoncheva will soon be singing the title role of Luisa Miller at the Met, and thus felt it was obligatory to include one of the arias here. 'It's so dramatic, so full of urgency: Luisa is forced to betray the man she loves. I really got a little taste of what it will be like for me to sing it on stage. ' In Attila, the heroine mourns the death of both her father and her beloved. 'This was my favourite aria on the whole record. It's extremely melodic, and at the same time demands a full, rich lyric sound. It's my dream to persuade someone to stage the whole opera one day. ' The role of Abigaille from Nabucco has sometimes been called a 'voice-wrecker' for it's superhuman demands: but this did not faze Yoncheva. 'I never obey the rules. People tell me I should sing this, or not sing that, but I believe you have to listen to your voice. And I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to go into this dark and dramatic world, and see what came out!' Of Verdi's more frequently performed operas, Yoncheva includes the celebrated aria 'Tacea la notte' from the opera Il trovatore. From Simon Boccanegra (1857/1881) she sings 'Come in quest'ora bruna': 'This is one of the lighter pieces on the album: I love this aria. It's such a beautiful piece, and so good for the voice. ' She admits to having 'a fetish' for the haunting aria 'Pace, pace' from La forza del destino (1862) because of it's power and intensity, and is looking forward to singing the role of Leonora soon. She also sings the great 'Ave Maria' prayer from Otello (1887), and after her spectacular triumph in Don Carlos in Paris, she also adds Elisabetta's epic aria 'Tu che le vanità'. 'I lived this role so intensely that I feel I'm completely in Elisabetta now, even thou gh I sang the role in French in Paris, but in Italian for the album,' says Yoncheva. What has she gained from her immersion in the works of Verdi? 'Even deeper respect for him. He's an absolute master of the theatre, of drama, of musical construction. And it was my aim to express my admiration from the very bottom of my soul. 'Sonya Yoncheva recorded her new album with Verdi specialist Massimo Zanetti and the Munich Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Perfect size for me!
Color: Black
I've had this bag for several months! It's in GREAT condition for the price that I got it for! I've had one maybe a couple stitches on the handle fray a little bit, but other than that it's holding up amazingly! Surprisingly it holds a lot, wallet, keys, small makeup bag, and a smaller bag for hair ties, pins, tampons and whatnot. It's very soft, the color doesn't fade! The material isn't hard leather, it's very maluable, making it fit wherever you put it, which is exactly what I was looking for. When this one eventually wears out, I'll 100% buy another one again because it's small and it matches every single one of my outfits!

Cute but cheaply made
Color: Black
I love this bag so much. However, I had to purchase twice because the first one broke due to the fabric on the inside catching on the zipper and when I tried to undo it, it ripped. The second bag still has problems with the zipper but it has stayed in good condition. The bag holds quite a lot and it’s really good. Overall I would say that bad is cheap but also lasts? Just be cautious of the zipper.

WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT- and I’m NOT picky.
Color: Black, Color: Black
DO NOT BUY. Genuinely the worst product I have ever bought. I’m not a picky person. But upon receiving this bag, I immediately felt iffy about the material of the bag. Then I opened it to get a whiff of a rancid fishy smell. As I’m not a picky person, and it was $20, I moved past these two immediate issues. My problem came on day 4 when the interior ripped. The material is so cheap it was not able to be sewn to be fixed. I was irritated, but was able to move on from even this. Day 6 of use was the final straw for me. The zipper got caught and completely stuck on the ripped material. While trying to wiggle it, the tab to pull the zipper came off. While again trying to get it open by hand, the zipper ripped completely open and part of the zipper track came off. This is THE MOST DISAPPOINTING ITEM I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. Absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND. DO NOT GET THIS BAG. I don’t even want to give this one star.

Insane amount of space in this thing and it’s so cute too. 10/10 would recommend and I’m buying it in the khaki color too!
