Oeuvre: L'incoronazione di Poppea: Disprezzata Regina

Die Starsängerin Magdalena Kožená und das La Cetra Barockorchester unter Andrea Marcon sorgten im neobarocken Stadttheater für Festspiel-Feeling.

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.
