This month, Joyce DiDonato makes her highly anticipated debut in the Verbier Festival’s Opening Concert, with a performance of Berlioz’s Les Nuits dété. She is joined by the Verbier Festival Orchestra, led by Esa-Pekka Salonen, on a programme that also features Strauss’ Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche and Schubert’s Symphony No. 3. Please note that ticket availability is extremely limited for this special event, which takes place on July 17.

Joyce can also be heard singing the Berlioz on a recording with the New York Philharmonic (2012) available via Amazon, heralded by critics as “pure sensual indulgence.” (ConcertoNet)
