A multi-Grammy Award winner and a 2018 Olivier Award winner for Outstanding Achievement in Opera, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato has soared to great heights, both as a performer and a fierce advocate for the arts. Her performances of Handel and Mozart operas, as well as her bel canto roles of Rossini and Donizetti, have earned her international acclaim. During the 2023-24 season, she returns to the Metropolitan Opera to sing the roles of Sister Helen Prejean in Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking and Virginia Woolf in Kevin Puts’s The Hours. She also appears as Dido in Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas in Luxembourg, Madrid, Paris, Hamburg, and Essen.
