Eugene Kohn

"I admired Eugene Kohn’s way with the Washington National Opera and Chorus.  He did everything an opera conductor is supposed to do: support the lead singers, coordinate the chorus and orchestra, make a connection between the stage and the pit, and keep it all vivid and exciting."

– Andrea Chenier, The Washington Post

 

"Conductor Eugene Kohn kept everything in balance revealing the music’s remarkingly lucid and colorful textures."

– Andrea Chenier, The Washington Post

 

"Both sopranos command lustrous, pliant voices that carried easily over the orchestra under conductor Eugene Kohn, an old pro who knew exactly when to bend to with the singers and when to take charge." 

The Chicago Tribune

 

"Eugene Kohn captured the opera’s openhearted sweep."

Andrea Chenier, The Wall Street Journal
