Joyce DiDonato | Eden by Various, Di. 24 Jan. 2023, Ab (2023/2023), Unter der Regie von Marie Lambert-Le Bihan, Dirigat Zefira Valova, The Granada Theatre, Santa Barbara, Vereinigte Staaten

“DiDonato’s Eden beckons humanity back to the garden… [her] voice is truly one of nature’s great wonders: luminous, silken, flexible, full of colors and expressive shadings, always supported by the breath so even the finest threads of tone shine.” NPR An Arts & Lectures Co-commission Fusing music, movement and theater, EDEN is a breathtaking, through-performed tour de force from the multi-award-winning Joyce DiDonato that’s been immediately celebrated as iconic and ground breaking. EDEN explores our individual connection to nature and its impact on our world. By traveling seamlessly through four centuries of music, including a new commission from Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman, a searing and singular experience of hope unfolds. To ensure that the EDEN experience continues to grow outside of the concert hall, each audience member receives seeds to plant as Joyce asks: “In this time of upheaval, which seed will you plant today?”
