She has soared to the top of the industry both as a performer and a fierce arts advocate, gaining international prominence in operas by Handel and Mozart, as well as through her wide-ranging, acclaimed discography. She is also widely acclaimed for the bel canto roles of Rossini and Donizetti. She made her Philadelphia Orchestra debut in 2015 at Carnegie Hall and makes her subscription debut with these current performances. Much in demand on the concert and recital circuit, Ms. DiDonato has recently held residencies at Carnegie Hall and the Barbican Centre in London; toured extensively in the US, South America, Europe, and Asia; and appeared as guest soloist at the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms at Royal Albert Hall. Other recent highlights include performances with the Rotterdam Philharmonic and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Berlin Philharmonic and Simon Rattle, and the Chicago Symphony and Riccardo Muti; extensive touring with Il Pomo d’Oro and Maxim Emelyanychev; and recitals with the Brentano Quartet at Wigmore Hall and with Antonio Pappano at the Royal Opera. Ms. DiDonato’s recent operatic roles include Sister Helen Prejean in Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking at Madrid’s Teatro Real and London’s Barbican Centre; her first Dido in Berlioz’sLes Troyens under John Nelsons in Strasbourg; and the title role in Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda for the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera, and Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu. Ms. DiDonato is an exclusive recording artist with the Erato/Warner Classics label. Her most recent release, Les Troyens, won the Recording (Complete Opera) category at the 2018 International Opera Awards, the Opera Award at the 2018 BBC Music Magazine Awards, and the Opera and Recording of the Year awards at the 2018 Gramophone Awards. Other recent recordings include In War & Peace, which won the 2017 Best Recital Gramophone Award; Stella di Napoli; her Grammy Award- winning Diva, Divo; and Drama Queens. Other honors include the Gramophone Artist of the Year and Recital of the Year awards and an induction into the Gramophone Hall of Fame. 29 Framing the Program A medieval German legend, the magical realism of Jorge Parallel Events Luis Borges, French poetry, and the sights of Rome 1848 Music inspired the four works on the program today.

  • Wagner Oct 04.Indd
    Wagner Society in NSW Inc. Newsletter No. 98, November 2004 IN NEW SOUTH WALES INC. President’s Report Dear Members Neidhardt Ring This is our final Newsletter for 2004, and in less than 4 weeks the first cycle of the Neidhardt Ring in Adelaide will begin. This is an historic and monumental undertaking for the State Opera of South Australia, and we in the Eastern States, who cannot hope to dine on such exalted operatic fare in our own cities, will once again pilgrimage to Adelaide and its Festival Hall. In his review of Ring productions at our July meeting, Dr Antony Ernst mentioned that many opera companies are destroyed by the demands of staging the Ring, as moths to a flame, and we must all hope that this is emphatically not the case for the State Opera of South Australia. Some stagings of the Ring disappear forever after their first performances, and again we must all hope that this can be revived in Adelaide, or perhaps staged in other cities here and overseas. This Ring is being characterised by some commentators as the first truly Australian Ring, but I prefer to follow the Bayreuth tradition by naming this Ring after its producer, Elke Neidhardt. “Nach Adelaide!” Society Events PLEASE NOTE: In response to many requests over the last few years, the Management Committee has decided that all functions for 2005 will begin at 2:00PM. On Sunday 19 September, Dr Jim Leigh spoke about different recordings of the Ring and introduced the film made in November 1964 of the recording of the Solti Gotterdammerung in the Sofiensaal, Vienna.

Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.

Immediately, a question arises: why zombies? Perhaps Kundry, the wandering Jewess, could be seen as an undead wanderer. Parsifal, too, is cursed to wander past endurance, and Amfortas clearly suffers from an inconvenient and painful immortality.

Yet life as a church musician would prove insufficient for Fauré. Though he did spend years as an assistant and principal organist in provincial and Parisian churches, his greatest legacy is his oeuvre and his leadership in French music during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 1892, he became inspector of the national conservatories in the provinces; in 1896, he took over from Massenet teaching composition at the Paris Conservatoire, where he taught the next generation of French stars, including Ravel and Nadia Boulanger.
