Russian soprano Julia Lezhneva is a stellar interpreter of vocal repertoires from the early Baroque to Romantic eras. Following her ravishing performance at the Classic BRIT Awards 2010 as Dame Kiri Te Kanawa’s protégé, she has enjoyed a meteoric success with her much-heralded voice of “angelic beauty” (The New York Times), “pure tone” (Opernwelt), and “flawless technique” (Guardian). An exclusive Decca artist, she has received many awards such as the Opus Klassik Award and Diapason d’Or.

In her Hong Kong Debut, Lezhneva will partner with award-winning pianist Pavel Nersessian to delight the audience with arias and songs by Handel, Rossini, Schumann, and Vivaldi.

獲《紐約時報》盛讚「如天籟般美妙」的俄羅斯女高音列茲妮娃即將帶來她的香港首演。2010年的全英古典音樂獎典禮上﹐狄卡娜娃女爵邀請初出道的列茲妮娃現場獻唱﹐驚為天人的歌聲與紮實花腔技巧旋即風靡古典音樂界。列茲妮娃擅長巴洛克至浪漫時期作品﹐以「純淨音色」（德國《歌劇世界》）及「完美無瑕的歌唱技巧」（英國《衛報》）征服全球聽眾。她的錄音專輯榮獲多項獎項，包括德國古典回聲大獎以及法國金叉獎。

列茲妮娃將與鋼琴家納塞西安聯手為香港觀眾呈獻韓德爾、羅西尼、舒曼和韋華第等多首聲樂精品。
