A Night At The Opera features five young singers who have already made considerable names for themselves. The soprano Indra Thomas has been acclaimed as the next great Verdi soprano, while the mezzo-soprano Kristine Jepson has enjoyed great success in the key rôle of Octavian at the New York Met, in addition to other rôles there and throughout Europe and America. The lyric tenor Matthew Polenzani’s international career also includes appearances at the Met in a varied and challenging repertoire. The Polish baritone Mariusz Kwiecien’s operatic appearances have included the Met and the Vienna State Opera, with a number of distinguished awards, and the prize-winning bass-baritone Valerian Ruminski boasts a particularly wide repertoire in a career of growing distinction.
