On Sunday evening Sonya Yoncheva is to sing together with her brother Marin Yonchev in Hall № 1 at the National Palace of Culture. Currently Sonya Yoncheva is among the most popular opera stars worldwide. I was impressed with the invitation to sing in Bulgaria, because it was filled with a lot of positive energy, enthusiasm and love towards my art, Sonya said. We feel great in Bulgaria, because people here love us a lot, Marin Yonchev said. The concert on Sunday will be based entirely on music by Verdi.
