A recital as Babayan likes them: unexpected and varied, a journey that takes us from Schubert to the land of the Wizard of Oz. Sergei Babayan has devised an ideal program for a summer late afternoon. A program made largely of transcriptions: Schubert and Schumann lieder transcribed by Liszt, Rachmaninoff romances reduced for solo piano, a miniature by Kreisler revised by Rachmaninoff.

Julia Sporsén is one of Sweden’s most acclaimed sopranos today. She was awarded the Svenska Dagbladet Opera Prize in 2023 for her portrayal of the title role in Bellini’s Norma at Folkoperan, with the jury stating: “In the service of artistic expression, she tests all boundaries with beautiful sensitivity and complete vocal mastery.” Equally praised was her performance as Desdemona in Verdi’s Otello at the Gothenburg Opera last season.
