Whenever this captivating mezzo soprano steps on a stage to perform, it becomes a major event. Vocal artistry at the highest level and a sparkling intelligence and personality that shine through everything she sings — this is what makes Joyce DiDonato one of the most popular and revered artists of our time. Miss DiDonato’s program will include Berlioz’s The Death of Cleopatra and Jake Heggie’s song cycle Camille Claudel: Into the Fire, written especially for the artist. Maestro Villaume conducts The Dallas Opera Orchestra in works by Beethoven to celebrate his 250th birthday, and more!
