Be subsumed by two choral masterworks of spiritual rhapsody and sonic power. Both the “Great” Mass and the Requiem were left incomplete by Mozart, yet find their perfect finish with this fresh, all-American cast under conductor Louis Langrée. From the “radiantly sublime” Joélle Harvey (Los Angeles Times) to the “magnificent” Christian Van Horn (Opera News), this ecstatic evening reaches full force with these two choral masterworks.
“Stunning…with a creamy voice, effortless coloratura and considerable stage presence.” —Opera Magazine on Joélle Harvey
“Disarming ease, agility and a sweet, open sound.” —Chicago Tribune on Alek Shrader
