Video on demand: Vocal Masterclass with Joyce DiDonato - Rossini’s “Nacqui all’affanno … Non più mesta” from La Cenerentola

Renowned mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato presents a series of three master classes focusing on opera arias. Here Ms. DiDonato coaches mezzo-soprano Ané Pretorius with pianist Shannon McGinnis on Rossini’s “Nacqui all’affanno … Non più mesta” from La Cenerentola (1817). 

Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato’s performances have been called “a model of singing in which all components of the art form—technique, sound, color, nuance, diction—come together in service to expression and eloquence” by The New York Times. The revered singer presents a series of three public master classes for young opera singers who were chosen from an international pool of applicants.
