Fall’s musical lineup

Nov. 20 — Joyce DiDonato: The celebrated mezzo-soprano (who looks like she could be Diana Krall’s sister) teams up with Italian orchestra Il Complesso Barocco for a trip through works by Handel, Monteverdi, Gluck and Haydn.
$35-$90. Green Music Center, Sonoma State University. gmc.sonoma.edu.

Nov. 30 — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: The Boss still slides on his knees for miles and plays well over two hours a show. He’ll break out the new stuff from “Wrecking Ball” and pay tribute to the late Clarence Clemons with a special “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.”
Tickets are not yet on sale. Check back at www.coliseum.com. Oracle Arena, 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland.
