Dalles Hall Bucharest
November 19, 2025, 7:00 PM
November brings pop-opera chords to the Dalles Hall in the vibrant interpretation of tenors Ştefan von Korch and Alin Stoica. "Vivo per lei," the only pop opera concert of the autumn, musically traverses the beautiful paths of seeking love and fulfillment through love. Maestro Alexandru Burcă will accompany on the piano.
Tenor Ştefan von Korch, soloist-amphitrion and initiator of the Musical Extravaganza season, says:
«The concert "Vivo per lei" is a true celebration of music, a show in which the elegance of opera harmoniously intertwines with the passion of pop. The repertoire will take the audience through a wide range of emotions and among emblematic pieces such as „Con Te Partiro" and „Vivo per lei"»
While tenor Ştefan von Korch is recognized for his extraordinary high notes and is acclaimed for appearances in lyrical roles par excellence, tenor Alin Stoica is described as "a tenor with a colossal voice the likes of which hasn't been heard in a while on Romanian stages and beyond," and is appreciated for his dramatic strength, and soprano Stephanie Radu enriches the concert's register with a special timbre and a sweet voice, so that the musical encounter of the three soloists will be truly memorable.
The two soloists will be joined, as a muse, by soprano Stephanie Radu, with an ethereal presence and a velvety voice.
