“Ms. Gheorghiu will sing one of opera’s most beloved arias, Dvorák’s Song to the Moon (Rusalka) in a special arrangement for soprano and bass quintet. Additionally, she will perform the stirring Our Father by Anton Pann – a tribute to the nine musicians from the MET Orchestra who have quietly retired during the pandemic.” [Met Orchestra Musicians]
