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.

Go Ridding and Go Flatless with QuickStrike tire sealent
Size: 1 Gallon + Tool, Set name: Off-Road Formula
I’ve tried several tire sealants over the years on my ebikes and scooters, but FlatOut QuickStrike is by far the best I’ve used. From the moment I added it to my bike tires, I noticed a difference—it’s incredibly easy to install, and you don’t have to convert to tubeless to benefit from its protection. The formula is thin and spreads quickly, sealing punctures almost instantly so you don’t lose much air.
What I feel that really stands out is how effective it is. I ride my ebikes through rough terrain with lots of thorns and debris, and since using FlatOut QuickStrike, I haven’t had a single flat ( unlike before ). Even when I’ve picked up multiple punctures, the sealant has handled them all without a problem. I feel that the peace of mind it gives me is priceless, especially on long rides or commutes where a flat could ruin your day ( and It has in the past ).
Another big plus is that it’s a one-time application—it won’t dry out or turn into a mess inside your tire ( like that Green Stuff ). It’s also safe for both tubes and tubeless setups, and works well in my 20 inch and 14 inch tires. I’ve used it on my ebikes and scooters and the results have been consistently impressive.
Make me feel confident of the durability of my tires on my ride. I bought the gallon bottle because I have a few ebikes and scooters. this stuff works great!
If you want to spend less time fixing flats and more time enjoying your ride, this is the sealant to get. Highly recommend!

Worked perfectly for me. Sorry I waited so long.
Size: 1 Gallon + Tool, Set name: Off-Road Formula
I was clearing a field full of mesquite trees, and my tractor tires were getting destroyed. Mesquite has nasty 3-inch thorns, and I was plugging tires constantly. Eventually, all four tires were flat at the start of each day. These tires had been plugged more than 10 times each.
I bought FlatOut Quick Strike and followed the instructions exactly. The pump dispenses about 1 oz per pump, so I put 30 pumps in each tire, and the bottle was mostly empty by the time I finished. Typical with any pump dispenser it was also difficult to get the last bit out of the bottle using the pump.
It’s been a week now. One tire has lost about 1 PSI, but the other three are still holding exactly where I set them.
Considering how badly these tires were damaged, I’m impressed so far. This is the first time I’ve gone more than a day without dealing with flats in that field.

Pump is worthless
Size: 1 Gallon + Tool, Set name: Small Tire/Bicycle Formula
The sealant is good. The gallon pump is a joke. Pump stopped working 4 pumps in. Went and got another replacement pump from automotive store, also broke after 4 pumps. Ended up cleaning out an old Slime bottle and pouring in the flat out sealant in the slime bottle, so I could actually get it in my tires.

There seems to be a chronic problem with the provided dispensing pump.
Size: 1 Gallon + Tool, Set name: Off-Road Formula
I looked at online reviews of the product performance and was impressed by its purported ability seal tire punctures. While the product may (or may not) perform well, the provided dispensing pump is pathetically unsuited for the application and it is impossible to clear the pump once the material clogs the small dispensing port. Some of the reviews indicated this but i assumed that they were not very mechanical inclined customers. The product, by design, has particulates, of varying sizes, suspended in the liquid sealant. The port on pump is very small and easily becomes blocked with the sealant and particulates that cannot be cleared; even when following the instructions to do so. It is very irresponsible for the manufacturer to continue selling this item with inevitable relative failure of the pump as this is the only way to get the sealant into a tire.
