How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Ask Eve Queler for directions; she should be able to get there with her eyes closed at this point.

Queler led the Opera Orchestra of New York in her 100th performance in Carnegie Hall on Thursday. Singers young and old, famous and not, came to honor her.

Queler is known for championing the performance of Russian and Czech operas in the United States. She was the first to perform Janacek’s music in America in Czech, for example.

Renee Fleming, tenor Marcello Giordani, soprano Krassimira Stoyanova and mezzo Dolora Zajick all performed to honor Queler.
