— James Jorden, Observer
“The company’s chorus alone could power an aircraft carrier for a week at sea...”
— Justin Davidson, Vulture
“Apart from the three leads, this opera is showpiece for chorus and orchestra, and both sounded in fine form under Mark Elder...”

It was a packed house of children and their families...curious to learn about opera! Here's a #tbt from February, when the #MetChorusArtists entertained & educated at the @howlandchambermusiccircle in Beacon, NY. Read all about it at our website (link in bio⤴️). Bravi to choristers @heyyallhowyalldurin @teksusnate #RossBenoliel @thesunshinesprite @saramheaton & pianist @carolwongnyc! That's #SaraHeaton singing #JuliettesWaltz with #CarolWong at the piano. #emoji #emotion #opera #outreach
For the first time in its history the @metopera has a float in NYC's #PrideMarch! The chorus and the entire #MetOperaFamily has always been supportive of our LGBTQ members, but it's powerful (and fun) to share it with the world! The chorus locks arms with dozens of company members in celebration, including our superstars @arcostanzo & @sblythe327 (plus a few other Met legends: Luciano, Maria, Grace, Birgit, etc.). From the #MetOpera's LGBTQ community members to its many allies, we are all proud to join the movement! And let's hear a special "bravi tutti" to the Met's carpenters & scenic artists for the fantastic float! #loveislove ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 (Photos from company members @lizwentworth2014 @thesunshinesprite @thechaseywasey @belindaoswald @mkdrummond @sblythe327 @manigrossi @philipvolpe) • • • @metopera @nezetseguin @metoperasupers @metoperaballet @metorchestra @metropolitanoperacostumes @metoperascenicartists @metoperastudent @metoperastagehands @metoperaguild #MetPride #Pride #NYCPride #WorldPrideNYC #Stonewall50 #loveislove #love #lovewins #MetOpera

““The stars of the night, however, were the larger ensembles. The Met chorus always seems to be in a world of its own. A good one, that is. From the opening passage, “Dieu! Dieu d’Israël,” the voices rippled as one through the theater with immersive effect. ”
— David Salazar, OperaWire
