Some of Danielle’s favourite tracks from her CDs
The heART
of an Opera Soprano
“Music is as integral to me as my own DNA. It is the choices we make as musicians that allow us to shape and create a very personal interpretation of the music on the page. An artists interpretation is his fingerprint. To me, performing means communicating to the audience not only through the voice but through the natural human canvas, the face, to convey the emotions evoked by the music and text.”
