The SND Opera continues with its popular series of Sunday Chamber Concerts created at the initiative of several members of the SND Opera Orchestra also in the new year. Their common ambition was to pursue chamber music for both traditional and less traditional instrumental combinations alongside their extensive opera and ballet repertoire. The initial instrumental character of the events was later extended to chamber music recitals by soloists of the Slovak National Theatre Opera.

 

The March chamber concert will feature members of the SND Opera Choir as soloists and as a chamber vocal ensemble. The attractive programme consists of opera arias, songs and chamber choirs.
