Danielle de Niese with the Australian Chamber Orchestra
|
Danielle de Niese (soprano)
has long been on White Hat's list of
Significant Melbourne People.
She was born in Melbourne and won Young Talent Time aged 9,
then moved to Los Angeles, won an Emmy and made her debut with the LA Opera aged
15. She has blossomed into one of the hottest properties in opera, enrapturing
audiences in roles like Cleopatra, Euridice and Susanna at Glyndebourne, the
Metropolitan Opera and on screen.
To celebrate her professional debut in her home country, De Niese sings a
specially commissioned Australian work, which also marks the centenary of
Australia’s Nobel laureate
Patrick White. The fireworks of
Mozart's
Exsultate jubilatee
is contrasted Schubert's haunting song, Death and the Maiden. The
Australian Chamber Orchestra (Richard Tognetti Artistic Director and Lead
Violin) will then perform Schubert's masterly quartet (arranged for string
orchestra) which uses that same song as an inspiration.
