Jessye Norman: Singer

The full range and diversity of Jessye Norman’s singing is captured on film at performances in London, Paris and New York. Examples of these performances shown are the role of Ariadne in Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, and the lament from Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. Jessye also comments on her cultural roots and evolution as a singer.
