Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato singing the aria "Tanti affetti" from Rossini's La Donna del Lago. Live from the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, January 24th
At the very beginning of the video, she said that this aria is about a different kind of love: a love for a father, and a love for a lover, and came after hours of despair and terror, when peace is achieved at last. Then a man shouts "Brava" and she answered "Brava, and I haven't even sung anything yet! A moment!" ^^
@sonqualnave there is no high c in this interpretation-there is a B flat

This is gorgeous! I almost cried, as I watched this video. Ms. Didonato has worked HARD to get to this point in her career. I'm just glad that the world has finally taken notice of her extraordinary talent. And she's such a wonderful person.
