'Dead Man Walking' / Teatro Real

“Joyce DiDonato is superb as Sister Helen Prejean … Even listening to DiDonato’s 2012 recording with Houston Grand Opera, it is the human drama that hooks us in. (Her latest album, Great Scott, also by Heggie and McNally, indicates her loyalty to their work.) Heggie writes generously, if traditionally, for the voice. Pouring her heart out at top volume, DiDonato sounded as if she could have gone on effortlessly for a good few hours more.”

Fiona Maddocks – The Guardian

“Joyce DiDonato surely knows her Sister Helen … she has come to own the role with solid singing, perfect diction and candid phrasing.”

Fernando Remiro – Bachtrack
