Georg Friedrich Händel: Theodora HWV 68

After an intimate recital in October, Joyce DiDonato continues her residency at the Philharmonic on 24.11., performing George Frideric Handel’s oratorio Theodora. She sings the role of Irene, the confidante of the titular Christian martyr who is sentenced to terrible torture, sung here by soprano Lisette Oropesa. Further vocal roles feature Paul-Antoine Bénos-Dijan, Michael Spyres and John Chest. They are joined by Maxim Emelyanychev and his ensemble il pomo d’oro. Before the concert, Joyce DiDonato will participate in an artist conversation about her musical development and her repertoire, which encompasses baroque to present-day compositions.

For this concert, all visitors aged twelve years old and two months and up must show proof of eligibility to attend via CovidCheck. For further information, click here
