Armenian soprano Juliana Grigoryan won the prestigious Plácido Domingo Operalia competition in October 2022. Four months earlier, in June 2022, she also won first prize at the International Stanislaw Moniuszko Singing Competition in Warsaw. At the age of 25, she is on the threshold of a great career – in fact, she has already crossed that threshold! Juliana graduated from the State Conservatory in Yerevan and in 2018 became a member of the Armenian National Opera's Young Artist Project. In December 2022, she appeared as Liù (Turandot) at the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, in March 2023 she will perform Mimi (La bohème) in Ravenna, and in June she will make her debut at La Scala in Milan as the Second Wood Nymph in Rusalka.

Tenor Petr Nekoranec is also a laureate of many world competitions. The soloist of the National Theatre Opera in Prague excelled in Florence in October 2022 as Oronte in Handel's Alcina alongside Cecilia Bartoli in the title role and in March 2023 as Pylades (Gluck: Iphigénie en Tauride) at the Opéra national de Lorraine in Nancy. In Prague we will hear both artists in arias and scenes from operas by Donizetti, Gounod, Puccini, Verdi and Dvořák's Rusalka. The guest of the concert will be baritone Boris Prýgl, a finalist in two prestigious international singing competitions: Belvedere and Operalia Plácido Domingo, where he was awarded the coveted Birgit Nilsson Award.

The concert is held under the auspices of Dr. Ashot Hovakimian, Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia.
