International opera singer Pretty Yende makes her Zurich opera theatre debut in Switzerland tonight.
The artist, who has been based in Milan for the past seven years, is without doubt South Africa’s best export.
She was in the country a few weeks ago for special performances, but had to rush back to her second home in Europe to prepare for this special night.
“I’m really looking forward to my debut in Zurich’s opera house. It is a new production as the prima donna in Bellini’s I Puritani. It will be the first time that I’ll be performing in that opera house. I am super-excited about this,” she says.
