Romances by Rimsky-Korsakov and Rachmaninov; instrumental music by Glière and Rimsky-Korsakov

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was not only a predominant figure in 19th-century Russian opera, he also wrote a treasure trove of songs and romances – a genre that arose as a counterpoint to the 18th-century French romance and in which Glinka and Rachmaninov also excelled.

The Russian mezzosoprano Victoria Yarovaya, who in Sadko sings the role of Ljoebava (Sadko’s wife), presents a fine selection of romances by Rimsky-Korsakov and Rachmaninov, accompanied on the piano by Jeanne-Minette Cilliers. They enter into dialogue with Aykut Dursen, first double bass player for the Symphony Orchestra of the Flemish Opera, who will provide us with folk inspired Russian intermezzi.
Length: 1 - 1,5h  
In Antwerp, you can top off the concert with lunch at Brasserie Gustav (€19.50 extra).
