Her euphonious voice and magnetic charm have earned her international appeal. Acclaimed soprano opera singer Pretty Yende has an unmatched discography and has quickly become one of the brightest stars of the classical music world.
THE CORONATION
Buckingham Palace recently announced details of the music which will be performed at the Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May. Selected by King Charles III, the music has been chosen to showcase talent from across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. A variety of genres and styles can be expected. Andrew Nethsingha, the Abbey's Organist and Master of the Choristers, will direct the music at the service and oversee all musical arrangements. "All coronation services are a mixture of deep-rooted tradition and contemporary innovation," Nethsingha says. "As was the case in the four twentieth-century coronations, the choice of music reflects the cultural breadth of the age in which we live. Coronations have been taking place in Westminster Abbey since 1066. It has been a privilege to collaborate with His Majesty in choosing fine musicians and accessible, communicative music for this great occasion." he added.
PRETTY'S EXCITEMENT
Pretty shared her joy with her fans," It's hard to put into words how honoured and blessed I feel to receive an invitation to perform at The Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, 6th of May 2023," she says. She made her professional operatic debut at the Latvian National Theatre in Riga as Micaela in Carmen. Since then, she has performed at many major theatres across the world; Milan, Berlin, Barcelona, Z?rich, and recently Vienna Staatsoper. Well-wishes came pouring in for the singer.
