Joyce DiDonato is one of opera's most in-demand mezzo-sopranos.
The Kansas native originally set out to become a choral teacher and didn't imagine she could be a professional opera singer.
Of her career, she says "slow and steady won the race."
Today she's performing in the world's most famous opera halls.
Ahead of her first Australian tour, DiDonato talks with Mairi Nicolson about her career, and shares her passion for inclusivity and advocacy. |
