Album Reviews: ‘Les Troyens’ and ’Great Scott’
Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato. Simon Pauly

Updated:

The only thing better than one new opera recording by opera star Joyce DiDonato is two, and both are irresistible to lovers of vocal music. One is Hector Berlioz’s 19th-century French opera “Les Troyens,” and the other is a new opera by American composer Jake Heggie, “Great Scott.”
