Calgary Opera is thrilled to be partnering with One Yellow Rabbit's High Performance Rodeo and the Students Union of the University of Calgary to present an unconventional concert performed by New York's East village Opera Company. This amazing group, comprising an energetic five-piece rock band, string quartet, and two vocalists, will be in Calgary for one night only to perform "rock opera classics electrified."

 

"The East Village Opera Company is an offbeat delight... its sheer audacity is exhilarating." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 

Village

"This New York band deftly fuses rock and opera, delivering beloved arias ramped up with guitar and techno samples." - Entertainment Weekly

 

"The music of the East Village Opera Company may be unapologetically grandiose, as the mainstream media has noted, yet it is this self-serious treatment that allows for the seamless merging of the passion of opera and the pomposity of rock and roll." - Gay City News

 

Be one of the first to purchase tickets to hear this powerhouse band's inventive, hard-hitting arrangements of opera's greatest hits.

 

This event is a headline act of the 22nd annual High Performance Rodeo festival. www.oyr.org
