Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Old School, the new album from New York City's East Village Opera Company is an album 300 years in the making. Using a few centuries worth of opera's greatest hits as their launching point, the album took 12 months and 14 engineers to record and involved 65 involved musicians in 10 different studios around the world. EVOC has once again taken a selection of opera arias and re-imagined them as popular songs, using full symphony orchestra, R&B horns, and choir alongside the group's guitars, drums, keyboards, string quartet, and singers. Arias by Verdi, Puccini, Bach, Mozart, and Wagner collide with Rock and Roll, R&B, 60's and 70's Pop, Surf, and Soul in an explosive mosaic of sound that is deliciously eclectic and singularly cohesive at the same time. As filtered through the group's irreverent sensibility, a seemingly bad idea (rock meets opera) comes off as a triumphant celebration of all music in a musical highwire act that deftly balances tradition and renewal.
Time Out New York
"See them now while you can still get close. The group's charisma is inescapable and infectious...electrifies the classics for a new generation."
The Washington Post
"Opera crossover acts are becoming a veritable cottage industry, but the East Village Opera Co. is markedly different."

I have to catch my breath........I have heard this group twice in concert and they are breathtaking to listen to and watch perform...BUT ....this CD is as close as your ever going to get to LIVE!!!!!!
BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT
It's good, take a listen!
You don't hear much that is really different and good in this world, but this album is a major exception. I particularly like the fifth track, but you may have a different favorite.
