The East Village Opera Company fuses classic Italian arias and Neapolitan folk songs with unabashed 70's arena rock, sultry bossa nova, four-on-the-floor disco, and celtic and bluegrass-tinged ambience. Time Out New York raved that the group "…electrifies
the classics for a new generation."

This powerhouse five-piece band, string quartet and two outstanding vocalists bring the towering and timeless style of
opera into the 21st century. With modern recording technology
and a wide variety of music styles at their disposal, the East
Village Opera Company’s goal has been to “approach traditional works the way we feel the composers would if they were alive today.”
