Danielle de Niese, soprano
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY
22, 2009 AT 7:00 PM
Recital Hall - $38
Danielle de Niese’s
young career has already taken her to the Metropolitan Opera and many other
leading opera houses in both North America and Europe. But it was her portrayal
of Cleopatra in Handel’s Guilio Cesare for her 2005 Glyndebourne
Festival debut that brought true international acclaim. Staller
Center is proud to present Danielle de Niese and her “sweet, gleaming soprano”
at the very edge of a spectacular career. The program will include songs by
Purcell, Haydn, Wolf, Debussy and Barber.
“Danielle de
Niese creates electricity the moment she steps on stage. It’s impossible to
ignore her stunning face and figure, physical grace, and total assurance as an
actress, but the excitement really ignites when Danielle sings: her shimmering
lyric soprano projects an irresistible sparkle, a palpable joy in performing.”
- Roger Pines, Lyric
Opera of Chicago
