— 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're heavily into our preseason rehearsals: staging #PorgyandBess & #Macbeth, @metoperaballet is starting with #Manon, lots of cortume fittings with @metropolitanoperacostumes, technical rehearsals on stage of each of the new productions with help from the @metoperastagehands @metoperascenicartists @metoperasupers (this week #Wozzeck!), and we're singing a musical tour of the #201920 season in our chorus rehearsals. Next week the @metorchestra arrives, and @metopera will really be buzzing. Just a few short weeks until #OpeningNight! #Turandot #MadamaButterfly #Macbeth

““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. ”
