about
The Australian-born American singer who “looks like a pop diva but sings like a real one” (St. Louis Post Dispatch) regularly appears on the world’s most prestigious opera and concert stages and has an exclusive recording contract with Decca. For her debut solo album, Handel Arias, released in 2007, de Niese was named New Artist of the Year at the 2008 ECHO Awards, received the 2008 Orphee D'Or by the Academie Du Disque Lyrique, and was nominated for the 2009 Classical Brit Award for Female Artist of the Year. Her much-lauded second recording, The Mozart Album followed in 2009 and her newest album Diva was released in July 2010 throughout the United Kingdom. Through a combination of her recordings, live performance, and television exposure de Niese has gained wide recognition as a highly respected but popular classical artist, who combines effortless grace and class with the ability to communicate on every level. She is as comfortable on the small screen as she is on stage with no fewer than four BBC TV projects in the pipeline. She recently paired with Mika on ITV1’s recent Popstar to Operastar series, and she is also the subject of her own TV documentary, Diva Diaries, which debuted on BBC4 television with high ratings in May 2010. Ms. de Niese’s 2010-11 season begins with an appearance as Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro with the San Francisco Opera. She continues with Mozart at the Metropolitan Opera as Despina in Cosi fan tutte with William Christie conducting. In Vienna
