“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...”

We have the honor of sharing the stage with the best principal singers in #opera, but we rarely have the opportunity to hear them talk in depth about their careers. Our friends at the @metoperaclub invited a few of us (along with Maestro Palumbo) to their incredible room at @metopera to listen to @piotrbeczala speak with @fpd8652 -- what a treat! Thank you Piotr, @jbrewerjr & Susan Clearwater for having us, and #toitoitoi for tonight's #adrianalecouvreur! #metchorusartists

““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. ”
