“The Met chorus sounded more splendid than ever...”
— 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...”
— Anne Midgette, Washington Post

And that's how you finish a run of #parpignol! This may be the beginning of a hiatus for #labohème (until Nov 29), but we will definitely see @metkids for #tosca #carmen & #mefistofele for the next few weeks! #highfives with @iusedtobeafarmer #metoperachorus.

The life of a #chorister at @metopera can be pretty crazy. With 20 plus productions a season to memorize, we all have our tricks. Some people even use the time it takes to brush their teeth to work on a particularly difficult passage. It has clearly permeated the family life of #metoperachorus soprano @ktmangia -- her daughter has apparently memorized a bit of #marnie by @nicomuhly: "It's raining...umbrellas up!" Thank you for the support, #operafamilies! #adorable #umbrellasup
It's a #blastfromthepast with this shot from the @metopera archives: "Supernumeraries and/or members of the #metropolitanoperachorus in costume for Puccini's #lafanciulladelwest." The photo is from the world premiere of the #opera in the 1910/11 season. Meanwhile, 108 years later, we're channeling our inner #cowboy with the @metoperasupers again tonight!

““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. ”
