    Overview

    Recognised today as one of the leading contraltosof her generation, Sonia Prina’s career began twodecades ago when she joined the Teatro alla Scala’sAcademy and began performing Baroque opera.

    She makes a much-anticipated return to WigmoreHall, this time alongside laBarocca, formed in Milanin 2008, with a programme of arias by ChristophWillibald Gluck, a composer of radical works thatchanged the course of operatic history.
