EAST VILLAGE OPERA COMPANY

 

The East Village Opera Company are a dynamic ensemble that re-imagines the great opera repertoire in lush new musical settings.  By combining a classic rock rhythm section with two charismatic vocalists and a string section, the group strikes a compelling balance between tradition and renewal.  Their unique blend of opera and rock succeeds where countless classical crossover attempts have not – by bringing maximum respect and profound understanding of both genres to their music.  This is not a “Hooked on Classics” approach – arias are presented in their entirety in their original languages while the band embraces the emotional depths of the original versions with a highly charged and dramatic stage show.  Imagine a collaboration between Mozart and The Who or Puccini and Queen and you begin to get an idea of the group’s provocatively innovative treatments.

 

“See them now while you can still get close…the group’s charisma is inescapable and infectious.”
