Oeuvre: Venezia

Si l'on savait déjà que Joyce DiDonato était une artiste incroyablement versatile, sa prestation au Carnegie Hall de mardi dernier prouve une nouvelle fois qu'elle est l'une des meilleures interprètes de Rossini.

Venexia, Venise, Venedig: city of singing gondoliers, loved-up couples and pigeons. That was the picture painted last night at the sold-out recital by Joyce DiDonato and her accompanist David Zobel at the Wigmore Hall.

This Easter, New Yorkers had a rare chance to hear soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci in Alice Tully Hall. It was only Antonacci’s second appearance in the city, but based on the warm welcome she received from the audience, her reputation preceded her. And by the end of this outstanding recital, it was clear that the city has been missing out on her artistry.
