Multi-Grammy Award winner and 2018 Olivier Award winner for Outstanding Achievement in Opera, Kansas-born Joyce DiDonato entrances audiences across the globe, and has been proclaimed âperhaps the most potent female singer of her generationâ by The New Yorker. With a voice ânothing less than 24-carat goldâ according to The Times, Joyce has towered to the top of the industry as a performer, a producer, and a fierce advocate for the arts. With a repertoire spanning over four centuries, a varied and highly acclaimed discography, and industry-leading projects, her artistry has defined what it is to be a singer in the 21st century.
Joyce begins her ambitious 2023-24 season by opening The Metropolitan Operaâs season performing her signature role of Sister Helen in a new production of Jake Heggieâs Dead Man Walking, where she will return later in the season to revive her critically acclaimed âVirginia Woolfâ in Kevin Putsâ The Hours. This season also sees Joyce touring Dido & Aeneas with Il Pomo dâOro, and further tours of EDEN and the Grammy Award-winning SONGPLAY in Asia, South America, and Europe. In concert Joyce appears with her hometown Kansas City Symphony Orchestra for a series of subscription concerts, as well as performances in Istanbul, Strasbourg, and Paris. Joyce also performs in recital at Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin, Wiener Musikverein and Carnegie Hall.
Recent highlights include giving the world premiere of Tod Machover’s Overstory Overture in the role of Patricia Westertord at Alice Tully Hall in New York and Seoul Arts Center in South Korea and an in-depth residency at Musikkollegium Winterthur. Joyceâs groundbreaking EDEN Tour has had further success with recent tours in Europe and North America. In June 2022, Joyce joined the Metropolitan Orchestra for a tour that included the orchestraâs first visit to the UK in over 20 years, with performances at The Barbican, Philharmonie de Paris and Festpielhaus Baden-Baden. Her performance was âthe embodiment of musical perfectionâ, according to the Wochenglatt Reporter.
In opera, Joyceâs recent roles include Agrippina at the Metropolitan Opera and in a new production at the Royal Opera House, Didon in Les Troyens at the Wiener Staatsoper; Sesto in Cendrillon and Adalgisa in Norma at the Metropolitan Opera; Agrippina in concert with Il Pomo dâOro under Maxim Emelyanchev; Sister Helen in Dead Man Walking at the Teatro Real Madrid and Londonâs Barbican Centre; Semiramide at the Bavarian State Opera and Royal Opera House, and Charlotte in Werther at the Royal Opera House.
Much in demand on the concert and recital circuit, Joyce has held residencies at Carnegie Hall and at Londonâs Barbican Centre, toured extensively in the United States, South America, Europe and Asia and appeared as guest soloist at the BBCâs Last Night of the Proms. Other concert highlights include the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle, Orchestre RĂ©volutionnaire et Romantique under Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin, and the Accademia Santa Cecilia Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra USA under Sir Antonio Pappano.
An exclusive recording artist with Warner Classics/Erato, Joyceâs expansive discography includes the highly celebrated Les Troyens (winning Gramophoneâs coveted Recording of the Year) and Handelâs Agrippina (Gramophoneâs Opera Recording of the Year). Joyceâs other albums include her singular EDEN that has toured to nearly 40 cities globally, the acclaimed Winterreise with Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin, Grammy Award winning Songplay, In War & Peace, the 2017 Best Recital Gramophone Award, Stella di Napoli, Grammy-Award-winning Diva Divo and Drama Queens. Other honours include the Gramophone Artist and Recital of the Year awards, as well as an inaugural inductee into the Gramophone Hall of Fame.
