So far in 2015, the best assembly of voices in Montreal wasn’t at the opera, it was at the Maison Symphonique on Sunday for the Orchestre Métropolitan’s performance of Dvo?ák’s magnificent Stabat Mater. For the solos they somehow managed to get soprano Layla Claire, mezzo Karen Cargill and bass John Reylea.
Tenor Gerrett Sorenson replaced Brandon Jovanovich, who was sick.
