EAST VILLAGE OPERA COMPANY

Who would have thought that rock music and opera could co-exist? Well, not only co-exist but sound pretty freakin' good as well. It's this cross between the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Queen or Josh Groban and Switchfoot. I know it sounds odd but it really sounds quite good. The East Village Opera Company has this amazing blend of rock and opera.

One of the bands founding members, Peter Kiesewalter, said something to the effect of, "if Mozart or Bach were alive today we believe they would use the electric guitar, drums and other 'modern instraments' in their music."

I believe he is correct! Give a listen - here.
