Opera Italia presented by Antonio Pappano
Episode 1: Beginnings
In the first programme, Pappano takes a whistle-stop tour of the beginnings of opera, from Monteverdi to Rossini. He also looks at the works of two non-Italian composers, Handel and Mozart, both of whom were pivotal in the development of the art form. Along the way he enlists the help of some of the world's greatest singers - Juan Diego Florez, Joyce DiDonato, Danielle de Niese, Sarah Connolly and Pietro Spagnoli.
Joyce is so fantastic! Powerful mezzo on the opera scene for years to come LOVE HER :)

Terrific. I saw this performance of the Barber a couple of years ago at Covent Garden in London and it was fantastic despite the wheelchair.
