East Village Opera Company

by East Village Opera Company

The East Village Opera Company does rock versions of famous opera arias. The band is composed of keyboards, guitar, bass, drum, string trio, and two vocalists.

We saw them live a few months ago, and at first I was skeptical. However, it turns out that they ROCK. It’s not cool, ironic, indie rock. It’s eighties-style guitar shredding rock. The first concert was so good, we saw them again last night.

Definitely worth seeing.

Not on the Lips

by Alain Resnais

It’s like a French Gilbert and Sullivan musical. It’s got a cheesy old-school plot, but the songs are a catchy and the sets are fun.
