Experience the intoxicating musical world of turn-of-the-century Vienna! Join us for a fanciful mix of Viennese waltzes, polkas, gallops and more, followed by Vienna's own Gustav Mahler's deeply emotional Symphony No. 4, featuring soprano Marcelina Román.
Meet our soloist: Polish soprano Marcelina Román began her musical education as a cellist and later received her diploma at the Karol Lipinski Academy of Music in Wroclaw. Her professional stage and role debut was as Violetta in “La Traviata” by G. Verdi with conductor Andriy Yurkevych, winning her the Jan Kiepura Prize for “Female Debut of the Year”. Marcelina is a laureate and winner of more than 20 prizes in international competitions, among others: I Eva Marton Voice Competition, Hungary; IVC’s-Hertogenbosch; The Netherlands; Jazeps Vitols Vocal Competition in Latvia; Adam Didur Singing Competition in Polonia. After her spectacular success as “Armide” J.B.Lully she was named “Operatic Revelation of the Year”. In 2021, Marcelina released her solo album “Polish Soul” in collaboration with pianist Gilbert den Broeder, which included songs and opera arias by Polish composers.
