It is with deep regret that Joyce DiDonato has announced that she will not be able to participate in the European performances of Ariodante with Harry Bicket and The English Concert due to a medical procedure. She is immensely sorry to disappoint her fans and admirers but is hugely grateful to the wonderful Alice Coote for stepping in for the European concerts, and to Harry Bicket and The English Concert for their support and understanding. Joyce is looking forward to singing the American tour dates.
In collaboration with the Bristol old Vic and director Tom Morris (The Crucible) emerges a powerfully dramatized and accessible account of Handel’s profound religious masterpiece Messiah.
Welcome to the 2016-17 season with The English Concert. A season that will take us all over the globe, from the Far East, via Europe to North America.
