Dany Zonewa Opera Singer & Vocal Coach
Singing and dancing through life. I am an artist and belong on the stage, I feel at home there. I studied a lot and hard, had very good teachers, and was able to make beautiful music with the best conductors. I have sung many concerts, opera and operette performances and have been able to give fantastic vocal coaching to young talents. I was always happy when I was on stage. The smell of the theater, the music, the applause, working with amazing colleagues – that was my life.
Doing what you love, then, you work with the most beautiful and powerful energy you possess.
Sing with Spirit, Radiance and Devotion. – Dany Zonewa, opera singer – soprano dramatic coloratura & vocal coach
Dany Zonewa – In Mir klinkt ein Lied
A human being has so many possibilities of expression, Dany Zonewa explains during an interview of the Opera magazine that a human being has so many possibilities of expression. Bulgarian by birth, who calls herself “a theater diva”. After I finished my conservatory education I was connected to the Vienna Volk-Opera house and the theater Gfatnerplatz in Munich. After that I sung in many big opera theaters and did thousands of concerts worldwide. In the Netherlands I contributed 12 years of school concerts and the establishment of the Academy of Stage Performance where I was president and coached students in singing, acting and presentation. In my beautiful villa in Voorburg I taught thousands of students in the art of bel canto.
Singing, Acting, and Visualization technique
Getting people ready to perform, that is what it’s all about. Those who can walk, can also dance; those who can speak, can sing. You have to believe in yourself, and when you believe you can, magic happens. Your thoughts and feelings are very important because they tell your body what to do. First see in your mind what you want to do, and when you see and feel it, let go and sing with conviction and love.
