about
Joyce DiDonato (born February 13, 1969) is an American operatic coloratura mezzo-soprano particularly admired for her interpretations of the works of Handel, Mozart, and Rossini. She has performed with many of the world's leading opera companies and orchestras and in 2012 won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Solo. More on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_DiDonato Official website: http://www.joycedidonato.com/ Joyce DiDonato consistently earns ecstatic reviews wherever she sings. Among the world’s most charismatic performers, she is winner of the Metropolitan Opera’s Beverly Sills Award, among many other honors. “The buoyant progress of DiDonato’s career has been one of the happiest opera events of the past decade,” states Opera News magazine. Critics have called her technique “fearless” and described the range of her performing ability from “playful eroticism to imploding self-delusion to near-catatonic depression.” This season Joyce DiDonato releases her first solo recording on EMI’s Virgin Classics label. “Furore” features Handel arias and was recorded with Les Talens Lyriques and Christophe Rousset, with whom she tours Europe and the US in mid-winter. DG/Archiv Produktion releases Handel’s Alcina with Ms. DiDonato in the title role later in the year. She opens Wigmore Hall’s 2008-09 season, then sings her role debut as Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni in a worldwide telecast at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, to which she returns at the end of the season i
