I played one of the East Village Opera Company's songs on MySpace for one of my students today. I love going there every once in a while to see what new sound file they have up. Anyway, my favorite one of theirs is the Flower Duet, and I had Nessun Dorma as a ringtone for a while. I'm a fan of what they do. I wonder if they ever hold auditions. It would be so fun to sing opera this way!!
I decided to go to YouTube to see if EVOC's Flower Duet could be found there. Bingo! But I was really intrigued by this video of Scarpia's big aria from Tosca!
What do you think? What makes this successful in your opinion? Is it a valid way to share the grand opera tradition with non-traditional audiences??
