Joyce DiDonato

In the midst of chaos, how do you find peace? Awe-inspiring mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato entreats us all to reflect on this question as she brings this empowering theatrical performance to concert halls throughout the world. Divided into two sections, War and “Peace, the evening features the orchestra, il Pomo d'Oro with DiDonato performing some of the best Baroque arias including Dido’s dignified, but searing “Lament” from Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, and Almirena’s haunting and heartbreaking “Lascia ch’io pianga” from Handel’s Rinaldo. Free parking is available for this event in the Fishburne Parking Deck adjacent to the Schwartz Center.
