Joyce DiDonato's Drama Queens a hit at the Theater an der Wien

Conductor Alan Curtis and musicologist Alessandro Ciccolini have successfully restored Vivaldi's opera Catone in Utica, and they brought it to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris with a star performance from mezzo Ann Hallenberg.

It has been five years since mezzo Joyce DiDonato last sang in Amsterdam. In those five years, she won an Emmy Award, headed the cast of countless productions at the Met and Covent Garden, and has been recognized as one of the greatest opera singers of our time by the press and aficionados alike.

When on Sunday afternoon Joyce DiDonato came onstage at Carnegie Hall, the savvy New York audience gave her a truly royal reception by welcoming her with a long ovation. Such a reaction from the audience was hardly surprising.

Calixto Bieito deutet das Werk im Geist der heutigen Gender-Debatte. Und Dmitry Sinkovsky legt eine packende musikalische Interpretation der vor 20 Jahren ausgegrabenen Barockoper hin.

Fink, flink, furios – mit diesem Programm von Dorothee Oberlinger und Dmitry Sinkovsky wird barocke Utopie kurzweilig spaßige Realität.

Le violoniste et chef russe Dmitry Sinkovsky transmet au B'Rock Orchestra une ivresse sonore irrésistible, donnant aux œuvres de Haendel et Vivaldi un caractère hautement spectaculaire.
