Brava, Kristin and Ruth!

This was Kristin Roach's first opera as the chorusmaster of the Lyric Opera Chorus.

Everyone who worked with her appreciated her professionalism and enthusiam!

Here she is sharing a well-deserved group hug with the children's chorus.

The children were trained by Ruth Berg, who also received thanks and kudos.

Ruth even stepped in as a super when another "banda" member was needed.

The kids really enjoyed themselves and sang beautifully.

Kristin and Ruth's hard work paid off with a chorus who sang with precision and clarity.

Well, MOST of the time we were precise!
