Joyce DiDonato Sings Berlioz: Medea's Dance of Vengeance, Op. 23a Barber (+2 More)

When the world is on fire, heroes fall as fast as they rise – and after Napoleon Bonaparte revealed himself as a tyrant, Beethoven furiously cancelled the dedication of his explosive new symphony.

Edward Gardner launches a season devoted to the subject of memory with the mighty ‘Eroica’ (Heroic) Symphony. First, though he shares gripping musical myths by Barber and Berlioz: tales of women who defied fate to remake the world. And who better to take the role of Cleopatra than superstar mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato – a woman who brings everything she sings to vibrant, dazzling life?
