Danielle de Niese's career was launched with promising debuts at the Netherlands Opera and the Paris Opera, but true worldwide acclaim came with her portrayal of Cleopatra in a David McVicar production of Handel's Giulio Cesare (conducted by William Christie) at her 2005 Glyndebourne Festival debut. De Niese's pure and bright soprano, innate musicality, and impeccable acting, combined with youth and physical presence, have brought her to the threshold of a spectacular career. "Her singing is utterly delectable and completely assured...sheer 'joie de vivre' and mastery come spilling across, to the eyes as well as the ears" (New York Times).
