Jordan Hall, Boston, MA

Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato makes her Boston debut not with the Baroque showpieces or bel canto scenes that have won her acclaim at opera houses around the world, but with a program taken from her new album. “Songplay,” with a five-piece jazz combo, combining American standards — including Gene Scheer’s “Lean Away” — with selections from “Twenty-Four Italian Songs and Arias of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries.”
