Carnegie Hall+

Renowned mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato’s longstanding relationship with Carnegie Hall far exceeds her acclaimed performances on stage. She has also led series of beloved master classes for rising opera singers, enjoyed multiple years curating Perspectives series, and been a featured star on Carnegie Hall+.

In honor of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Carnegie Hall+ presents the premiere of Eden, a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience recorded in the ruins of Olympia that features DiDonato alongside children’s choirs from Greece and France, ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro, and Maxim Emelyanychev. This celebration of the enduring spirit of unity and collaboration lies at the heart of the Olympic Games. 

Carnegie Hall+ also features two extraordinary performances by DiDonato from Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu: a colorful production of Rossini’s Cinderella with Juan Diego Flórez and In War and Peace, a powerful staging of Baroque arias.

Eden in Olympia

In the ruins of Olympia, Joyce DiDonato explores a timely theme: humans’ frayed relationship to nature and hopes for renewal. Il Pomo d’Oro and Maxim Emelyanychev join her for music by Gluck, Handel, Rachel Portman, and more.

In War and Peace

Joyce DiDonato fashions a theatrical concert of Baroque arias that contemplates war and peace, conflict and serenity. She is joined by period ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro in works of Handel, Cavalieri, Purcell, and more.

Rossini’s Cinderella

The timeless rags-to-riches story of Cinderella is wonderfully re-told by Rossini. With a light and bubbly tone to delight fans of any age, this production from Barcelona captures all the vocal dazzle of the phenomenal Joyce DiDonato and Juan Diego Flórez.
