The East Village Opera Company

Mozart meets U2 as The East Village Opera Company reinvents classic opera arias into bona fide rock anthems. Direct from New York’s East Village, this genre-eluding, multi-lingual effort has created a spectacular musical morphing of rock, classical, jazz, pop and blues. Time Out New York says “the group’s charisma is inescapable and infectious… [it] electrifies the classics for a new generation.” Like nothing you’ve ever seen or heard, the company combines the instrumentation and musicianship of a powerhouse rock band with a string quartet and two electrifying voices to reinterpret the classical greats into high power, high energy rock opera songs.
