Biography

The voice of American Joyce DiDonato is a true treasure. With her unrivaled mastery and stage presence, the mezzo-soprano is invited to perform on the greatest stages in the world. The public always gives her such a warm welcome that the American musician is considered by the New York Times as the "perfect Diva of the 21st century".

Joyce DiDonato was born in the United States on February 13, 1969. She practiced for years to master her voice and phrasing and made her debut on the American musical scene at the age of 29. In regional operas in the United States, the musician will twirl her vocal timbre to the notes of Mozart while interpreting the Marriage of Figaro or those of Rossini in the Italian Girl in Algiers. The international reach of the young American's voice was discovered in 2002 when she played the role of Rosina in The Barber of Seville at the Paris Opera. Critics praised this talent who came from across the Atlantic to introduce the world to a real hidden treasure.

This visit to Paris was decisive in launching Joyce DiDonato's career. She appeared on the stages of Geneva where she glorified Rossini's The Lady of the Lake in 2010. She also revealed her creative talents with the role of Sycorax in The Enchanted Island performed at the Metropolitan Opera. This piece was conducted with the help of Williams Christie and Jeremy Sams to notes by Vivaldi and other composers. The great career of the American artist saw the release of several records that were each joyfully received by the public and critics.

The image of the perfect Diva that sticks to Joyce DiDonato's skin does not prevent her from always giving her all to please her audience. She describes herself as a channel through which the passion and emotions generated by music are transmitted to people. The mezzo-soprano thus wants to democratize classical music perceived as the prerogative of an informed class. By presenting herself as an ambassador of chamber music to the younger generations, the American artist invites all lovers of good music to come and discover her art. To do this, she wants not only to present a perfect work, but above all in which she will have taken risks to push her limits and produce a song of unimaginable clarity and virtuosity.
