In the space of the next five days, I’m due to see Angelika Kirschlager, Joyce DiDonato and Cecilia Bartoli, three world-ranking mezzo-sopranos, singing at three different London gigs:
· Kirschlager in Hansel und Gretel at Covent Garden tomorrow,
· DiDonato singing Handel repertoire at the Barbican on Saturday,
· and Bartoli in a Rossini recital, also at the Barbican, next Wednesday.
Music for Grown-Ups Heaven!
Having seen all three before, several times each, my expectations are astronomically high: three of the greatest female voices on the planet - on show in one city at virtually the same time. It’ll be instructive, if invidious, to compare and contrast. Watch Music For Grown-Ups for reviews.
