The use of the harp to replace the piano in a voice recital is truly a unique and unexpected musical treat. The multi-faceted Diana Damrau, who has been described as “the Meryl Streep of classical music” will show her stratospheric vocal range, spark, and dramatic talent in this concert with Xavier de Maistre at the harp as an additional bonus of a sharp stage presence, great musical intelligence and first-rate technique. The German coloratura soprano began this season at Theater an der Wien, where she performed the title character in the world premiere of Bell’s new opera A Harlot’s Progress, and went on to open the season of La Scala with Verdi’s La Traviata. Damrau, who in additition to her achievements in opera, is established as one of today’s finest lieder singers, and De Maistre will present a programme that beautifully brings together the sound of the human voice with the musical diversity of the harp.
