Last week we had the pleasure of visiting our dear friends in the @metoperaclub -- we did a demonstration of what it takes to prepare and perform #carmen at @metopera from the chorus' perspective. Maestro Palumbo guided us through scenes from Act I that show the range of choral textures and characters, including the #habañera & the #toreadorsong from Act II. Bravi to our Carmen and #escamillo of the day: choristers @misschiggie & @nedhanlon! Thank you to @jbrewerjr & #susanclearwater for organizing it (and for supplying the photos)...😘😘 #surlaplace #laclocheasonné #smokerschorus #lamourestunoiseaurebelle #toréadorengarde

““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
