That should be awesome.”Ĭhorus member Jessica Murphy (soprano) called the showcase and its vocal prowess “exhilarating, the amount of sound produced is incredible – and we haven’t even approached our fortes and fortissimos yet.” Opera Philadelphia
#CARMINA BURANA COMPOSER PROFESSIONAL#
“You have almost 80 professional singers on this stage for this show. What having a big chorus mean to its performers is quite a different animal than what it means to audiences.Īlong with her time in with Opera Philadelphia’s chorus, Ellen Peters (alto) has sung ‘Carmina Burana’ with other area chorales, and can say, from experience, that “the magnificent sound of so many voices singing together in a beautiful hall” such as the Academy of Music is an experience not to be missed. “Carmina Burana and Credo both have a big chorus and big orchestration.”
“We were looking for that level of relevance, as well as a shared forcefulness,” said Braden. What makes the ‘Carmina Burana + Credo’ event spectacular is the company’s vision toward pairing classics with more modern composers, female composers and composers of color.
Elizabeth Braden, Opera Philly’s Chorus Master, and several of the singers from the Opera Philadelphia Chorus-Ellen Peters, Frank Mitchell and Jessica Murphy-have tied together classical vocal works in concert in the past.
