Joyce DiDonato - Diva, Divo

Joyce DiDonato - Diva, Divo
Album available here: bit.ly/Diva-Divo
Joyce DiDonato's capacity for characterization is as astounding as the range and flexibility of her voice. This new collection showcases DiDonato's multi-faceted art, and the wealth of opportunities open to a mezzo-soprano by presenting her as different characters- both male and female- from the same opera story.
As DiDonato explains: "This recital celebrates the vast and fabulous world of the mezzo-soprano. Aside from the obvious Toscas or Cio-Cio Sans, I've never regretted the length of my vocal cords! I have the privilege and unmitigated joy of playing boys and young men, as well as girls and grown women ... It's an exploration of the human palette of emotions."
The program features several roles that DiDonato has sung on stage, such as Rossini's Cenerentola, Bellini's Romeo, and Mozart's Cherubino. The 'flip sides' of those characters are roles that have not been featured in her repertoire: the Prince from Massenet's Chérubin; the Nurse from Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette, and both Chérubin (from Massenet's 'sequel' to Le nozze di Figaro) and Susanna. The Figaro connection continues with an excerpt from Il barbiere di Siviglia (Rosina, of course, later becomes Countess Almaviva), while the other operas on the program, include La clemenza di Tito (Sesto and Vitellia), Faust, La Damnation de Faust, Mefistofele.
Accompanying Joyce DiDonato in this tour de force is the Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Lyon under the company's Principal Conductor Kazushi Ono, another artist who successfully embraces an extraordinary diversity of musical idioms.

The best Cinderella!

I can hardly wait to see her next season in Dead Man Walking with the great Susan Graham. She was a superb Maria Stuarda a couple of seasons ago. I think she's the most exciting voice in all of opera today.

[@user-tk9bc9dw6k]

Gute Technik aber hat mich leider nicht berührt...koloratur klingt wie eine kleine scharf.

[@ramoncifuentes4664]

Too much nasality

"I get to explore the THEATRICAL world of opera".
Sure, in a studio, recording with cuts, copying and pasting tracks here and there.
Poco intonata
