Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato’s performances have been called “a model of singing in which all components of the art form-technique, sound, color, nuance, diction-come together in service to expression and eloquence” by The New York Times. The revered singer presents a series of three public master classes for young opera singers who were chosen from an international pool of applicants.

I used to sing the hell out of this aria as a 20 something coloratura. Only when I started teaching other singers at the college level did I realize JUST how brave this is- not just THIS very difficult and technically tricky aria but the entire act of what we do every single time we step on the stage. In my 50's now, I'm performing less and less- by choice. Certainly I no longer have the glittering Eb that this young woman has, but I don't miss it. It's so very exciting for me to see my students do this instead! I want nothing more than to pass on the love of this truly unique art. My students are not my competition, they are my legacy. Ms. DiDonato clearly gets that. She gives so much of herself to these young people and watching her work a very logically musical and technical magic with these people is still very magical indeed! It's all in how it's transmitted to the student and she does this perfectly.
I enjoyed reading your comment. My mate is doing the opposite with performing, at the age of sixty six he is just starting his career as a tenor, Though yet to be confirmed, he has been invited to perform at the Sydney Opera House in Jan 2025. He has recently had over 12 months of coaching by a teacher who is 90 years old who had taught opera in Italy and was one of Pavarotti's teachers! She retired to Australia but came out of retirement to coach my mate when she heard him perform in his local church. This lady has taught him breathing and is very strict with him. My mate and I will be in the audience when Ms DiDonato performs in Australia in November 2025.
I’m an opera novice, and I use these videos to learn more about this supreme art. Thank you!
I would advice you not to. Di Donato is not someone who you should listen to for technique. She will make your voice small, nasal, and strained.
Madame Heinz I take your point, but it seems to me that here she is teaching more interpretation and emotion than production technique.
@@rrreverb I don't believe her to be someone to go to for that either. Over-interpreting every word, finding deep meanings where none were meant to be. Just hiding the fact that she has no voice.
@@celibidache1000 To each their own. I enjoy the sound of her voice and found her interpretations led to better singing.
I’m doing similar though I’m not a novice. I find Joyce’s interpretation of the music very helpful in adding my own connections to what I’m singing.
Wow!!!!! This young lady not only has a beautiful voice, but amazing control! Something rarely heard nowadays. Thank you Ms. Di Donato for these Master Classes.
We are soooo lucky to be able to get all this knowledge from Joyce Didonato! It is unbelievable how well she can explain things and make the arias come to life!
Joyce is SO, SO SMART. ❤
Very glad to read that Ms DiDonato is coming to Australia to perform November 2025, me and my mate (a tenor with a voice like Mario Lanza) will be in the audience! can't wait to hear her perform live!
She has potential! ❤️
She really have duh! Shes divine!!
wow... what a voice - I love it!
Thank you so much for sharing this great video!
These sessions are wonderful!
bravo bravo,
one of the most beautiful aria ever written. thank you for sharing with us.
You are a very well-trained singer. Do not change.
Wow. First time in my life I've ever heard something from Verdi and this girl literally blow the roof off.
And then we have Joyce's charisma that is pure magic 🙌🏼
STUNNING ABSOLUTELY PERFECT....BEAUTIFUL TONE AND VIBRANCE..GORGEOUS...BEAUTIFUL..
Thank you for watching!
superbe talent.Merci et bravo
Terrific! The trill at the end-I think it starts on the upper note.
Молодец девушка, очень хорошо спела эту арию. Есть у неё большие перспективы . Очень музыкальная. Я люблю слушать Евгению Мирошниченко, чудесное колоратурное сопрано. Жаль, что нет её больше с нами.
Wow! Not many can carry Caro nome like Maria callas. She's great!
Im a pianist and composer but I relish DiDonato 's masterclasses !
Joyce DiDonato's master classes are great! We're glad you enjoy viewing them.

My favourite, Andrea Rosts is my favourite rendition!
The first Gilda was a full lyric spinto not a light coloratura.
Bravissimo!

She is 15!!!!!
The character is 15, not the singer
Wow! if she is managed properly and with diligence and love, she will go far, if this is what she wants.
If you dissect this aria it is almost nothing else than a downward scale or a singing lesson/vocal etude. It is probably the hallmark of great composers, that they are able to get their banalities to sound original - or swindle the audience into believing that they are. You say to yourself "I could have written this"! Perhaps, but you didn't.
Such a pretty voice that would excel in Mozart and the coloratura German rep. This Gilda is small voiced but crystalline and incredibly beautiful. I think Di Donato’s tip of singing this as if one was composing it is not good advice. This sung cleanly with JUST enough nuance is enough. Violetta can be played with a bit more but really Gilda starts to become a nut when she is sung with ideas. The role is deliberately tortured after being incredibly innocent enough. And the crystalline dream like intensity is consistent and reaches its peak with her sacrifice at the end. For the wrong man. She is not sophisticated rather a very lost and dreamy idealist who never really takes in what happened to her. Large voice or petite she is very much a dreamer who goes the wrong way. All because of her fathers bizarre employer and his job. Rigoberto is very much about the lead and the rest are archetypal. The cursing vengeful wronged man, the rogue aristocrat, the assassin, the whore, the mob courtiers. And finally the miserable deformed jester trying to hide his dignity through caging up his daughter. The virgin. She’s not a creative composer. She is a virgin living in a dreamworld.
I definitely wouldnt this voice as small
A dificuldade dessa ária é gigantesca, certamente uma das mais difíceis de Verdi. Essa garota desperdiça muito a voz no início, provavelmente por nervosismo ou por querer impressionar. Falta controle do som, interioridade. Gilda canta essa ária para si mesma, falta introspecção. Ela confundiu Juliette de Gounod com a Gilda de Verdi !
Temos um brasileiro kkkkk mas percebi isso também e creio que a Joyce também. No começo ela fez uma Gilda já sabendo o que é o amor, o que não é exatamente o que acontece. Gilda está tímida e reflexiva até seus próprios sentimentos a assustarem “mas ainda gosto de me sentir assim” como diria Cherubino e Joyce bem lembrou.
All those words of the coach-ignore that. You need to sing the way you know how to.
They missed the whole point of that song "THE JOY!" not techniques of Neanderthal passion. Patrícia Janečková does just an awesome job singing that song these DAZE!
JDD doesn't know what she is doing . This clip has nothing to do with singing ... what a joke . The soprano should be working on trying on integrating the head , phalanx, and chest voices... it's all in her head , blanched and colorless ...
