We are thrilled to announce that #MetChorusArtists, Inc. (MCA) has launched a fundraiser just in time for Giving Tuesday! MCA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit created by members of the Full-Time Met Chorus as a way to participate in outreach & charity opportunities that advance the appreciation of opera and classical music through performances, artist support, and community engagement. We have some exciting partnerships planned in 2025 with Brick Presbyterian Church, The Reformed Church of Bronxville (NY), the Howland Chamber Music Circle, Salon 58, and Sing For Your Seniors. We hope to see you at our upcoming events, and if you are able, please give what you can. Your tax-deductible donation will assure that we have the means to continue to support and expand our programming and involvement in our Upper West Side community and beyond. A link to the @gofundme is in our bio. Thank you so much for your support! 🎶 @brickchurchnyc @reformed_church_bronxville @howlandchambermusiccircle @salon______58 @singforyourseniors #MetChorusArtists #GivingTuesday @metoperachorus #TaxDeductible #Charity

Our third #LiveinHD transmission of the 2024-25 season happens today! We’re broadcasting #Puccini’s #Tosca, starring Lise Davidsen, Freddie De Tommaso, Quinn Kelsey, and Patrick Carfizzi. We hope to see you in the @metopera house, but if you are joining us from a theater, let us know the city you are watching from. Please note the encore performance at your local theater might be affected by the Thanksgiving holiday.

#HappyHalloween from the Chorus! We are in costume virtually every day, so we thought we’d show you our friend #SkeletonSteve who’s been hanging out with us for the last couple weeks. He’s dressed as a fighter pilot from #Grounded, a sword fighter from #IlTrovatore, an abductor from #Rigoletto, and #Parpignol from #LaBohème! Thank you to wardrobe supervisor #CaseyBoyle for his supreme dressing skills!🎃👻@metoperawardrobe @metopera #MightyMetChorus

Tonight we open #Ainadamar at @metopera! Three of our soprano chorus members join the ensemble of Niña principal artists in this exciting, high-energy production. All our chorus sopranos and altos cheer on the Niñas, and wish we could join you onstage in this electrifying Met premiere. Congratulations to all our colleagues who celebrate their #MetOperaDebut tonight! Toi toi toi! 💃🏽💃🏿💃🏻 @angeljoyblue @esvillalon @dcecima @alfredotejada_paginaoficial @scottconner_bass @eleomarcuello @federicodemichelis.ok @thesunshinesprite @annemarienonnemacher @jmsoprano @ginaperregrino @isaactovarg @soniaolla_official @gonzograu @adamdelmonte @metorchestra @miguelharthbedoya 📸 Photos by @martysohl / Met Opera

Our second new chorister introduction of the season is contralto Nicole Joy Mitchell. Nicole began singing with us in 2019 and, as her middle name suggests, is a joy to sing with. Welcome, Nicole! We are so lucky to have you! 🎉 Nicole Joy Mitchell, contralto, is a proud native of Brooklyn, New York and has performed around the country and the world. She made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 2019 as part of the ensemble in the GRAMMY Award winning production of the Gershwins’ #PorgyandBess. She has performed in several productions since including the historic GRAMMY Award winning opera by Terence Blanchard, #FireShutUpInMyBones. She has performed at @nycopera, @piedmontopera, @tanglewoodmusicfestival, @sarasotaopera, @portlandopera, @teatrosancarlo in Italy and @semperoper in Germany. In 2022, Nicole performed the role of iconic Civil Rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer at @santafeopera in the world premiere of #ThisLittleLightofMine, the Story of Fannie Lou Hamer by composer @carterchandler and librettist @nomolog. As a NYC based artist she has performed regularly with American Opera Projects (now #TheAmericanOperaProject) singing and premiering the works of new composers and has workshopped new operas for the @nyutisch Opera Writing Workshop. Nicole has worked in film, done voiceover work and in 2021 she composed and performed her own setting of Walt Whitman’s Poets to come! as a dedication to her dear friend #GregTrupiano who founded the #WaltWhitmanProject. She is a graduate of Buffalo State College and @msm.nyc where she received her master’s degree. Nicole currently serves on @musicalartistsunion's Board of Governors. 🎉 Nicole's headshot is by @kendrairenephoto. The rest are selfies by Nicole in various @metopera productions. @herknik #MightyMetChorus

A new, local craft beer is now available at Met Opera! Richard Pearson, @metoperachorus bass, has teamed up with @patinarestaurantgroup and @aspirebrewing to create OPA! #OperaPerfettoAle which made its debut on opening night. Rick and a few of his colleagues model their flight suits from #Grounded with a can to celebrate the opening of the season. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of OPA! go to various musical education programs, helping our next generations find a voice. When you’re in the opera house, be sure enjoy some OPA!
