You’ve heard opera, and you’ve heard rock, but you’ve never heard opera rocked like the East Village Opera Company. This powerhouse band brought  the towering emotion and timeless musicality of opera into the 21st century on its debut Decca release with its inventive, hard-hitting arrangements of opera’s “greatest hits”, including “La donna è mobile” from Rigoletto, “Habanera” from Carmen, and “Nessun dorma” from Turandot,  performed at full length and in the original languages.  On their newest release, "Olde School", they continue their eclectic and original re-imagining of opera's greatest arias as popular songs, using  a full symphony orchestra alongside R&B horns with guitars, drums, keyboards, a string quartet and vocalists.
