Mobile Opera Chorus

I am a firm believer in the following: an opera company is only as good as its core ensemble.

For the 2009 - 2010 season, Mobile Opera is very excited to show off our new chorus. Last Tuesday 45 ensemble members showed up for the kick off party and first rehearsal. Not only do we have a huge number of returning members, we are very happy to welcome several new members and several members from seasons past that took some time off and decided to come back.

The 2009 - 2010 season will be a busy one for the ensemble. Love & Lust, Messiah, Sweeney Todd, and The Flying Dutchman all have HUGE choruses. But, have no fear: the ensemble is in great hands this year. Dr. Laura Moore, director of choral studies at University of South Alabama, has joined Mobile Opera's music staff as chorus master. Welcome, Laura!

See you all at the performances!
