The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra continues its tradition of sharing seasonal cheer when it presents its popular Holiday Joy program, with acclaimed French soprano Norah Amsellem as guest soloist.

Featuring a selection of seasonal favorites, the festive program will be presented on December 3 at 7 PM at the Avalon Theatre in Easton, MD; on December 4 at 7 PM at Cape Henlopen High School in Lewes, DE; and on December 5 at 3 PM at the Ocean City Performing Arts Center in Ocean City, MD.
To ensure the safety of its audience members and musicians, the Orchestra requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination for everyone entering venues. Some venues also may require that masks be worn.

She has performed at the Met more than 30 times in roles including Liù in Turandot and Gilda in Rigoletto.

Ms. Amsellem also has performed at La Scala in Milan, and with the San Francisco Opera, London’s Royal Opera, the Vienna State Opera, the Munich State Opera and the Berlin State Opera, among others. She has recorded for labels including Decca and Telarc.
