With her “rich, velvety voice…Angel Blue is sultry, dramatic, and spine-tingling.”

Great Scott: Movie Premiere

“A shiny first night in the Winspear…DiDonato was in bright full voice, turning on a dime from slapstick to pathos…”—The New Yorker

Grab your popcorn and your favorite libation and settle in for an afternoon at the movies.

Enjoy Miss DiDonato as both singer and comedienne as she stars as Arden Scott, international diva, who returns home to save her town’s ailing opera company. The premiere of her long-lost bel canto masterpiece is up against a huge football game starring the town’s beloved “Grizzlies” on the same night!

Art and sport go head to head in this delightful operatic spoof that had everyone cheering at its TDO 2015 world premiere.
