Magdalena Wór sang her first Carmen this season and won approval from the critics and her audience:  “Polish-born mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wór…made a magnificent debut…with her rich, seductive mezzo sound, perfectly suited to the role. And her acting as the sultry, sexy and fiery cigarette girl had just the right amount of intensity.” – Palm Beach Artspaper

Immediately following those performances, Magdalena sang Tisbe for Washington Concert Opera’s La Cenerentola and as soloist in Vivaldi Gloria with the National Philharmonic.  Other performances this season include soloist in Messiah with the Atlanta Symphony, and solo recitals in London at the Polish Ośrodek Spoleczno-Kulturalny celebrating Chopin’s 200th Birth Anniversary and for the Macon Concert Association and Ash Lawn Opera.
