Applause
Ghena, I wanted to congratulate you on launching the Russian Opera Workshop. It is fantastic to know that more young singers will have access to your knowledge, expertise and your wonderful Russian soul! Thank you again for your amazing work on our Tchaikovsky Program. It was one of Lyric Fest's proudest moments.
With best wishes and high hopes for more Russian opera in America, Suzanne DuPlantis Co-Founding Artistic Director Lyric Fest |
Ghenady Meirson, Founder
"Meirson, the emissary of Russian music to Philadelphia, gave every note its exacting Russian accent. ... [audience] admiring the singing and Meirson's symphonic playing."
The Philadelphia Inquirer You come. You like. You share.It's a tradition. Lots of fun and great music making. Pizza and happy juice party. After Iolanta dress run we rehearsed the Nutcracker ballet. Yes, we decided to recapture the excitement of Iolanta/Nutcracker double-bill premier of 1892. Tchaikovsky would be proud.
After two straight runs of entire Eugene Onegin singers took a minute to record a video invitation for upcoming performances. The week was filled with intense master classes and final dress rehearsals.
