May 2008 : We meet Joyce Di Donato for the first time at the Opera Bastille, Paris, in "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" of Bellini. We didn't know her before, but at first sight, at first listening we understand that this wonderful mezzo-soprano is not like the others !!!
Waooh!!!
What a generous singer !! She gives so much to everybody, to the public, to the musicians and actors, but also backstage to each people that is working on that beautiful production !
She's a smile of music !!
She's Romeo, strong and desperate. Her gait is a man's gait, her face and her voice hit your heart like millions of arrows in a few seconds !!!
Amazing !!!
And telling you that her performing is technically perfect would be as simple to say as it is the simple truth ! When she sings, you feel good, you know that nothing wrong can happen !
On saturday, after 4 representations of Bellini's opera, our daring lady (yes today she's a woman again ! a very cute lady !!) gives
a recital at the Opera Comique, with a very funny and moving program of american melodies. We're just laughing and crying at the same time !! How is this possible ?!?!
Waooh waooh waooh !!!
It's near midnight and tomorrow 2:30 p.m. will be the 5th representation of "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" at the Opera Bastille !! But she wants to speak to everybody after the recital ! We're just wondering how she's going to do tomorrow !!
You know what ? On sunday, haha, her Romeo is perfect again, or maybe better !!! Joyce, TELL US YOUR SECRET !!!
By this Myspace page, we want to say to Joyce "thank you for what you do and what you give !".
If you know Joyce (or want to) and appreciate her work, don't hesitate ! Join our fan club, write comments, sent us pictures !...

Cheers folks !
