  • "Vocally the performance of the choir was excellent (chorus master: Filip Paluchowski), which was able to inspire with its full and always transparent, cultivated sound and won over the audience from the very first performance with "Quel jour serein le ciel présage!"

    OPER GAZET

  • "The choir of the St.Gallen Theatre and the St.Gallen Opera Choir fulfil their role as the weighty protagonists with tonal finesse and - where necessary - a penetrating power that gets under the skin. It all sounds outstandingly beautiful and full of soul. The new chorus master Filip Paluchowski has done a great job of preparation."
