Interview
Joyce DiDonato in conversation with Noah Bendix-Balgley Ludovic Morlot and Joyce DiDonato
Hector Berlioz’s cantata La Mort de Cléopâtre is a highly concentrated drama of sometimes delicate, sometimes overwhelming expressiveness. Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato sang the work in June 2017 and was acclaimed by the audience for her powerful stage presence. Conductor Ludovic Morlot also presented Maurice Ravel’s charming suite Ma Mère l’Oye and Igor Stravinsky’s pioneering ballet music The Firebird.
