Take six minutes out of the hustle and bustle of your frenetic holiday season this Thanksgiving by joining the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus in a stunning musical experience. This week, soprano Melody Moore stepped into the leading role of the San Francisco Opera's opening night production of TOSCA. One review said "she received an ovation that shook the walls of the War Memorial Opera House." Another newspaper said, "A Star is Born." Melody joined the Chorus in both our holiday and spring concerts last year and wowed everyone. This video features Melody with the Chorus in the mesmerizing "O Magnum Mysterium" by Morten Lauridsen. She can also be heard on the SFGMC recording "Enchantingly Wicked" singing two arias by Stephen Schwartz. We are beyond thrilled and honored to have shared the stage with this incredible woman and artist.
