Following her ground-breaking and award-winning global project, “In War & Peace: Harmony Through Music” which reached over 3 million viewers worldwide, Joyce DiDonato turns her creative vision and artistry to her next great passion: EDEN
Exploring the majesty, might, and mystery of Nature through both arresting and evocative music and theatrical effects, Joyce will take the viewer on an emotional journey to reconnect to the power and fragility of Nature, exploring our place within this kaleidoscopic, wondrous world around us.
Joined by her long term musical partners, Il Pomo d’Oro and Maxim Emelyanychev, as well as the French stage director Marie Lambert, Joyce aims to double the global viewership through worldwide touring and streaming, as well as build on the interactive element of the public and presenting organization's direct participation. This will be an industry-defining project that speaks to the heart of humanity’s essence, at precisely the most needed moment in time.
The ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro was founded in 2012. It is characterized by an authentic, dynamic interpretation of operas and instrumental works from the Baroque and Classical period. The musicians are all well-known specialists and are among the best in the field of historical performance practice. The ensemble so far worked with the conductors Riccardo Minasi, Maxim Emelyanychev, Stefano Montanari, George Petrou, Enrico Onofri and Francesco Corti. Concert master Zefira Valova leads the orchestra in various projects. Since 2016 Maxim Emelyanychev has been its chief conductor, and since 2019 Francesco Corti is principal guest conductor.
