Empowered

Latest Performance

Next up is a recital with Chamber Music at Bethany entitled Empowered. This recital features John Harbison's Mirabai Songs with the poetry of Mirabai, a 16th-century Hindu mystic poet. From Emily: "On a personal front, this woman completely inspires me. If you take a look at her poetry, you can see a lot of her devotion and strength to Krishna, but those themes transcend into the modern era if you look at them through the lens of religion, or even just love. I'm looking forward to collaborating with Yasuko Oura again as we share a bit into the mindset of this incredible woman"

Critical Praise

"Pogorelc's rendition of "Glitter and Be Gay" is a standout highlight of the operetta. Local opera fans ought to run to see this performance while Pogorelc is still a relative newcomer. Tickets to see the future star will be hard to come by later."
DC Metro Arts
“A few of the current Ryan Center singers already seem ready for prime time. In that category is soprano Emily Pogorelc...The Milwaukee native was the runaway star of the evening in the title role Donizetti’s “The Daughter of the Regiment.”..."
Chicago on the Aisle
"As Romilda, soprano Emily Pogorelc sang with a beautifully lyrical voice. She gave a riveting performance which easily took center stage whenever she was present."
