World-famous opera singer Sonya Yoncheva has received the "Musician of the Year, 2023" award. It was presented to her by BNR Director General Milen Mitev. 

The soprano was chosen in a national poll by the classical music programme "Allegro Vivace" on Bulgarian National Radio's "Horizont" channel.

Culture is the key to a better society, the soprano said upon receiving the award. 

"To keep moving forward. To fight - not only for my career, but for future generations. To show everyone that culture is not only our future - culture is the key to a better society. And I believe that Bulgarian National Radio, "Allegro Vivace", with its 35 years, proves this every day. My special thanks go to the thousands of listeners who voted for me. It is a great honour for me".

Sonya Yoncheva and Bulgarian National Radio Director General Milen Mitev.
Sonya Yoncheva will give a recital in Bulgaria Hall on 3 December at 19.00.

Before the ceremony at the BNR, the opera diva announced a gala concert she will perform with Plácido Domingo and José Carreras in Sofia on 29 August 2025, reports BTA. The concert will take place on Alexander Nevsky Square and will be the last in a series of three galas organised by the opera singer and her team.
