The album samples repertoire from diverse inspirations and time periods, all of which explore an aspect of humankind’s eternal relationship with nature. In Joyce's words, the selections of the program "have no boundaries – like a wild garden." 

Beyond the recording, the EDEN project encompasses a global tour of more than 45 venues across five continents, groundbreaking education programs, and multiple partnerships. This multi-faceted initiative is poised to make a long-term impact and legacy which asks each of us to consider this question: "In this time of upheaval, which seed will you plant today?"

Ich atmet’ einen linden Duft!
Im Zimmer stand
ein Zweig der Linde,
Ein Angebinde
von lieber Hand.
Wie lieblich war der Lindenduft!
Wie lieblich ist der Lindenduft!
Das Lindenreis
brachst du gelinde!
Ich atme leis
im Duft der Linde
der Liebe linden Duft.

I breathed a gentle fragrance!
In the room stood
a sprig of linden,
a gift
from a dear hand.
How lovely is the fragrance of linden!
How lovely is the fragrance of linden!
That twig of linden
you broke off so gently!
Softly I breathe in
the fragrance of linden,
the gentle fragrance of love.

EDEN: Joyce DiDonato – The Circle, Part 1 (Mahler: Rückert-Lieder: "Ich atmet' einen linden Duft!”)

Fusing music, movement, and theater, EDEN is a breathtaking tour-de-force from Joyce DiDonato, with Il Pomo d’Oro orchestra and Maxim Emelyanychev. By traveling seamlessly through four centuries of music—including a new commission by Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman—EDEN is a searing and singular experience of hope and connection that celebrates the majesty, might, and mystery of nature. DiDonato invites audiences to explore whether we are connecting to the pure essence of our being to create a new EDEN from within and plant seeds of hope for the future.

About Joyce DiDonato:

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 “perhaps the most potent female singer of her generation” by The New Yorker. With a voice “nothing less than 24-carat gold,” according to The Times, Joyce has soared to the top of the industry both as a performer and a fierce advocate for the arts, gaining international prominence in operas by Handel and Mozart, as well as through her varied and highly acclaimed discography. She is also widely celebrated for the bel canto roles of Rossini and Donizetti.

Joyce’s exciting 2021-22 season included European tours of her baroque-inspired program “My Favourite Things” with Il Pomo d’Oro, in cities including Edinburgh, Salzburg, Bucharest, Barcelona, Antwerp and Lisbon, as well as her Winterreise and “In My Solitude” recital programs with pianist and longtime collaborator Craig Terry. Joyce also returned to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden as Irene in Handel’s Theodora alongside Julia Bullock and Jakub Józef Orliński. Most recently, Joyce has been touring her newly released album EDEN around Europe and the USA with Il Pomo d’Oro and Maxim Emelyanychev.
Recent highlights have included In My Solitude in Oviedo, Barcelona, Madrid, Essen, Amsterdam, Prague and St Petersburg, a breathtaking recital in Bochum for the Met Stars Live in Concert series, and Winterreise at the Musikverein Vienna and Festspielhaus Baden-Baden with Maxim Emelyanychev and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, respectively. Joyce was Carnegie Hall’s 19/20 Perspectives Artist with appearances including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Muti and Winterreise with Nézet-Séguin. The season also held the final tour of her album In War & Peace with Il Pomo d’Oro to South America culminating in Washington, DC, and a tour with the Orchestre Métropolitain under Nézet-Séguin.

In opera, Joyce’s recent roles include Agrippina at the Metropolitan Opera and in a new production at the Royal Opera House, Didon in Les Troyens at the Vienna State Opera; Sesto, Cendrillon and Adalgisa in Norma at the Metropolitan Opera, Agrippina in concert with Il Pomo d’Oro under Maxim Emelyanchev; Sister Helen in Dead Man Walking at the Teatro Real Madrid and London’s Barbican Centre; Semiramide at the Bavarian State Opera and Royal Opera House, and Charlotte in  Werther at the Royal Opera. Most recently she received rave reviews for her performances as Virginia Woolf in the world premiere of The Hours at the Metropolitan Opera.

Much in demand on the concert and recital circuit, Joyce has held residencies at Carnegie Hall and at London’s Barbican Centre, toured extensively in the United States, South America, Europe and Asia and appeared as guest soloist at the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms. Other concert highlights include the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle, Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique under Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and the Accademia Santa Cecilia Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra USA under Sir Antonio Pappano.

An exclusive recording artist with Warner Classics/Erato, Joyce’s expansive discography includes Les Troyens which in 2018 won the Recording (Complete Opera) category at the International Opera Awards, the Opera Award at the BBC Music Magazine Awards and Gramophone’s Recording of the Year, and Handel’s Agrippina which won the Gramophone Opera Recording and Limelight Opera Recording of the Year awards in 2020. Joyce’s other albums include her celebrated Winterreise with Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Songplay, In War & Peace which won the 2017 Best Recital Gramophone Award; Stella di Napoli; her GRAMMY- Award-winning Diva Divo; and Drama Queens. Other honours include the Gramophone Artist of the Year and Recital of the Year awards, and an induction into the Gramophone Hall of Fame.
