Quite an assemblage. Real prisoners singing the Prisoners' Chorus. And there's something about it that really comes through. Very impressive.

God bless Lenny B!

That is easily the most moving performance of that part of the opera I have ever heard. Thank you so much for including the real and beautiful voices of incarcerated people in your production, and for sharing it online with us.

This is just amazingly wonderful!!!! Very best Lucia I have ever seen!! did you do the whole opera? and where can I get it??

04MAR2022. I can see Beethoven's reference to the situation of the free Ukrainian people (Fidelio) now being unjustly imprisoned by Putin's invaders. SLAVA U-KRA-I-NI !

Thank you for this rendition of Beethoven -- it is a testament to the ongoing relevance of Beethoven, and for innovative interpretations to help do that!

Beautiful

Just heard this in NPR.

So cultural wasting syndrome

I'm in tears right now, a year-and-a-half later. Thank you.

What a tantalizing glimpse behind the scenes of a particularly complex new-work process!

Bravi tutti!

This documentary reminds me of how incredible this music was and the fierce talents involved in the production. Bravo to the filmmaker and creative team.

Gorgeous <3 Brings me right back! Congratulations all!!

WOW

Love this innovative and incredibly enjoyable event!!! Absolutely awesome!!!

Wonderful... powerful

I imagine this ghastly crew were shanghied from the most gruesome of prisons and forced to sing for their supper? They were whipped into an appreciable shape too. Well done.

Beautiful

Such a powerful performance and a most original concept.

Beautiful💙

Incredibly moving, thank you indeed! Greetings from Germany!

“The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another…and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.” -” ― Leonard Bernstein

WOW. If more singers sang Verdi like that, I'd listen to Verdi a lot more. So sensitively and musically phrased. So on pitch. And no shouting. By the way, if anyone hasn't seen Felicia Moore's terrific performance as Susan B. Anthony in the Gertrude Stein/Virgil Thomson opera "The Mother of Us All" at the Met Museum, I recommend it very, very highly. www.metmuseum.org/events/programs/met-live-arts/fy20-the-mother-of-us-all-digital-premiere

Please never stop singing or playing your wonderful instruments This is wonderful. You have certainly made my Garden Grow. Thank you all.

Daniel, Amazing, love what you're doing! So proud for you!

Love it, Dan! :D

Ah, this is so poignant and sweet and beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bless you all.

Amazing genius of Bernstein, coupled with people singing and playing with such tremendous heart! I don't cry much, but this did it for me. Thanks so much for your efforts!

When a dancer first appeared on the balcony I had an overwhelming emotional vision of the indomitability of the human spirit. Thank you!!

Love the creativity and unity in diversity....a work of art. Thank you.
