A NEW STAGE
DANIELLE DE NIESE
Known for her operatic talent, the soprano is hitting ing the West End in Aspects of Love — and no one is more surprised than she is
She is one of the world’s most popular opera singers, but Danielle de Niese still found it “quite unexpected” when she was offered a lead role in the West End revival of the hit musical Aspects of Love,, especially after thinking she’d failed the audition.
The internationally renowned soprano was juggling a typically busy schedule, rehearsing for a production with the English National Opera while also performing at the Royal Opera House, when she got the call from director Jonathan Kent to audition for him with a few songs from the show.
