ABOUT THE CONCERT

Festival Napa Valley kicks off its 18th summer season in grand style with a concert featuring a world premiere and three internationally renowned stars. South African soprano Pretty Yende, who sang at the coronation of King Charles III last year, joins tenor Jonathan Tetelman to perform a selection of favorite opera arias and duets under the baton of Maestro Carlo Montanaro. Sol by composer Yang Bao, who captivated audiences at the Festival last summer, opens the program as an Opus One Premiere.
