Sonya Yoncheva has established herself as a much sought-after and celebrated soprano with engagements at the foremost opera houses. This season Sonya Yoncheva will be again one of the big stars at the Metropolitan Opera. She will make her debut in the title role of Verdi's "Luisa Miller" and Puccini's "Tosca" and will also take on the title role of "La Bohème". Her performances will be broadcast in cinemas worldwide. For her third album for Sony Classical, the Operalia-winning soprano, Yoncheva turns her attention to the work of a composer for whom many feel she has always had a special affinity: Giuseppe Verdi. Yoncheva began her career in the world of baroque music, closely supported and encouraged by the early-music conductor William Christie (This bore fruit in her second Sony release, a successful album of arias by Handel). But it was always clear that the remarkable sound of the young artist also included within it the potential of a big, luscious, powerful voice ideal for Verdi's most demanding roles - a rare voice type known as a 'dramatic lyric' soprano. This voice requires an extraordinary combination of talents: a superb control of breathing, an ease of tone over a large range, enormous reserves of power, a variety of vocal colours, and - most elusive of all - an instinct for Italian musical phrasing. As audiences and critics have discovered in her performances of Rigoletto and Don Carlos Sonya Yoncheva is one such soprano. After her triumph in La traviata, the newspaper Die Welt even declared that 'she is the finest Violetta The music of Verdi forms the lodestone of most dramatic-lyric sopranos, and Yoncheva includes arias from some of the composer's rarely-performed operas in addition to some of the most beloved ones. From the early operas, she sings arias from Nabucco (1842), Attila (1846), Luisa Miller (1849) and Stiffelio (1850). The latter aria is a prayer of forgiveness from a woman, the wife of a pastor, who has been unfaithful. 'The emotional range of this aria is amazing, and musically it uses the whole voice from high to low- but amazingly it all happens in about two minutes. ' Yoncheva will soon be singing the title role of Luisa Miller at the Met, and thus felt it was obligatory to include one of the arias here. 'It's so dramatic, so full of urgency: Luisa is forced to betray the man she loves. I really got a little taste of what it will be like for me to sing it on stage. ' In Attila, the heroine mourns the death of both her father and her beloved. 'This was my favourite aria on the whole record. It's extremely melodic, and at the same time demands a full, rich lyric sound. It's my dream to persuade someone to stage the whole opera one day. ' The role of Abigaille from Nabucco has sometimes been called a 'voice-wrecker' for it's superhuman demands: but this did not faze Yoncheva. 'I never obey the rules. People tell me I should sing this, or not sing that, but I believe you have to listen to your voice. And I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to go into this dark and dramatic world, and see what came out!' Of Verdi's more frequently performed operas, Yoncheva includes the celebrated aria 'Tacea la notte' from the opera Il trovatore. From Simon Boccanegra (1857/1881) she sings 'Come in quest'ora bruna': 'This is one of the lighter pieces on the album: I love this aria. It's such a beautiful piece, and so good for the voice. ' She admits to having 'a fetish' for the haunting aria 'Pace, pace' from La forza del destino (1862) because of it's power and intensity, and is looking forward to singing the role of Leonora soon. She also sings the great 'Ave Maria' prayer from Otello (1887), and after her spectacular triumph in Don Carlos in Paris, she also adds Elisabetta's epic aria 'Tu che le vanità'. 'I lived this role so intensely that I feel I'm completely in Elisabetta now, even thou gh I sang the role in French in Paris, but in Italian for the album,' says Yoncheva. What has she gained from her immersion in the works of Verdi? 'Even deeper respect for him. He's an absolute master of the theatre, of drama, of musical construction. And it was my aim to express my admiration from the very bottom of my soul. 'Sonya Yoncheva recorded her new album with Verdi specialist Massimo Zanetti and the Munich Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Chuckit medium rebound balls
Size: Medium
My 8 month old German shepherd dog loves these balls. They are easy to throw, they bounce great, they are very chewable! She keeps one in her mouth most of the time. It satisfies her need to chew and she does not chew other things. She drops it in the water and lets the hole fill up and drinks that way. The only problem that has caused is suction in her mouth and difficulty in dislodging it for her. However, she would be lost without it!

These are definitely indestructible
Size: Medium
Both of my dogs can destroy a ball in a matter of minutes if I let them play with them (supervised) as is. Well not with these balls. They are the ONLY ones I have found that are 100% indestructible. Please only let your dogs play with these as a toy when supervised though. They go really far when throwing them, so both dogs get a good amount of running and exercise with these. I also bought these because they have the hole in the middle of the ball which is very important in the event that a dog gets one stuck at the back of their throat. This allows them to breath unlike those without this hold. It's an unlikely event, but as dog owners, we all need to be aware of this and educate ourselves on what to do if this SHOULD happen. This isn't a scare tactic, nor a reflection of this particular brand, it can happen with any type of ball. My two dogs are about 45ish lbs and the size is perfect for them, I don't want anything smaller than this. They love them. There is no annoying squeak. Really easy to wash after use. Some balls take forever to get the slimy saliva off, but these don't.

Rubberized fun for your little ones
Pattern Name: Animals
If your pet baby loves squeaky toys, then these are right for them. Value for the money. Soft rubber, durable squeaker, and they bounce like a ball. I should say a ball that ricochets off of anything it bounces off of. Loads of fun for the little dogos.

Essential Dog Toy in "Our World"
Pattern Name: Funny Faces
I have bought ~a dozen of these packs over the last 7 years. Began when our cocker was a puppy and (with puppy teeth) prone to destroying each squeaky toy he loved. Searched on something like "non-destructible (or maybe durable) small dog squeaky toys)" and these popped up. Now, they're Bark Park playtime essentials. SO many pups there love them (and we let the "stealers" keep them and tell their parents how to get them. Every day we have Bark Park squeaky egg symphonies (one mini Aussie plays 3 simultaneously--2 by mouth; another with his foot) and chases, as ALL the doggos love them. They last a long time and can be washed (I use a toothbrush and block the hole w. a finger).
