December 15, 2017 — L’Écho Républicain“A Musical Walk Through Chartres with Singer Veronica Antonelli”
In December 2017, L’Écho Républicain published an article about Veronica Antonelli on the occasion of a musical walk through Chartres. The newspaper presents her Monuments Enchantés concept as a meeting point between heritage, emotion, and the a cappella voice, with particular attention paid to the natural acoustics of each location.
The article describes an artistic approach in which the soprano sings in a wide variety of heritage and natural settings — cathedrals, monuments, open spaces, canyons, and outdoor environments — adapting her interpretation to the acoustic properties of each site. Veronica Antonelli explains that the voice resonates differently depending on materials, architecture, and surroundings, and that this resonance is an integral part of the artistic experience.
The newspaper also recalls that this approach forms part of the Monuments Enchantés concept, already developed by Veronica Antonelli and presented in various locations in France and abroad.
