STAGE TUBE: Highlights - Joyce DiDonato Performs at the Gowanus Ballroom

On Friday, October 3rd, Joyce DiDonato performed music from her new album Stella di Napoli at the Gowanus Ballroom, a warehouse performance art space in Brooklyn, located above Serett Metal Works. The intimate event, co-hosted by Warner Classics/Erato and LoftOpera, took the universally-acclaimed diva and the album's 19th century Bel Canto music and placed it in a distinctly modern and urban setting. LoftOpera also previewed their upcoming production of Rossini's Barber of Seville. Click below to watch highlights from the concert!

Stella di Napoli, released September 2nd, debuted at No. 1 on the classical charts in the U.S., UK and France, and has been greeted with glowing reviews around the world. The album traces the birth of Bel Canto in Naples, with three world premiere recordings from Pacini, Carafa and Valentini.
