Danielle de Niese: In Studio

Soundcheck | Jan 25, 2012

Danielle de Niese was born in Australia and grew up in the U.S. – but her voice seems to have originated from somewhere in 17th century Europe. The soprano is back at the Metropolitan Opera this month as “Ariel” in the pastiche called “The Enchanted Island,” and recently released her fourth album, called “Beauty of the Baroque.” She joins us in the studio for a live performance.
