JOYCE DIDONATO
Joyce DiDonato, one of the most acclaimed mezzo-sopranos on the international stage today, opens the Perelada Festival with a recital that promises to be an unforgettable lyrical experience. Renowned for her extraordinary versatility and expressiveness, DiDonato has captivated audiences at the world's most prestigious venues, from New York's Metropolitan Opera to London's Royal Opera House. Her powerful and nuanced voice has brought to life both Baroque heroines and contemporary figures, in a repertoire that spans from Handel and Mozart to newly created premieres, securing her place as one of the most influential voices in modern opera.
A charismatic and deeply committed artist, Joyce DiDonato understands music as an act of surrender, that is capable of moving, healing and transforming. Her appearance at Perelada, accompanied by pianist Craig Terry -a regular musical partner and leading figure in vocal accompaniment-, marks a milestone in the festival's history and offers a unique opportunity to experience first-hand the magnetism of a performer who never fails to move every audience.
A unique evening filled with the beauty, depth and emotion of art in its purest form.
