Over 30 members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and principal cast members of LA TRAVIATA performed the famed "Brindisi" in the aisles of Reading Terminal Market, entertaining hundreds of Philadelphians, and proving that the perfect accompaniment for all things Italian is a little Verdi! The Opera Company sincerely thanks members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and cast for generously volunteering their time and talents... BRAVI TUTTI!! LA TRAVIATA runs from May 7 - 16 at the Academy of Music. For tickets/info: 215-893-1018 or operaphila.org

What a fantastic way to make opera accessible and get people involved and interested. How could this not inspire someone who has never seen an opera to take the plunge? Bravo a tutti!!!

I love it that people enjoy these flash concerts! They are a flash of sunshine in an ordinary day.

When I'm far from Italy, and I feel a little homesick, I use to listen to Verdi. In his music there is everything you need to know about italians

We Americans are a great people. To have these young talented people do this at this italian festival just shows how connected we are with the love of music and living in a country that gives us liberty. We will never see this in the news where the media wants us at each other's throats. BRAVO to all the members of the Philly Opera Company, this was inspiring!

This isn't the first time this has been done... I seem to remember seeing a similar video done in a market in Spain. Still, that doesn't detract from the wonderful job they did here, and the amazing lift it must have given the shoppers there that day. They also made it look and sound very easy, and in fact it required very careful planning, and of course each vocalist had to be individually "miked." I'm not a great opera fan, but I say "BRAVO" to a performance like this!

My friend and neighbor, Vivian Fonseca, sent this to me three days before she died and I just listened to it tonight...feelings are best expressed through ART!

I've seen several flash mobs here on youtube and I think the classical ones are by far the best.

nothing like a little culture to set everybody straight-it brings absolute joy to your soul and comfort to your heart.. A positive expereience for all to share - a huge thankyou to the real genius who thought to present this magnificent piece.

@brucebowman5958 14 лет назад

I work in an industry that travels across the country and I think I would just tear up and smile and enjoy it like I did watching the video. I would personally love to be present at an event like this.

I will never tire of this video! I like when the women giggle when they are sung to.

We spent our first vacation in over 30 years in Philly. I cannot remember when I more throughly enjoyed myself than in the Terminal Market! The sights, the sounds, the music, the food, but I wish I could have seen this!

@anettelynch 14 лет назад

AWESOME.... one of my favorite opera, sweet and happy!!!

What a delightful surprise for the people at this Italian Market. As for me, I loved it and from the response, so did the unsuspecting audience. Bravo!!!

Bravissimo!! Who does not get emotional while listening to and watching this video has no soul.

You've probably seen this before, but it always makes me smile.

One step closer to restoring my faith in humanity. Well done. Thank you very much!

@brunkerj 14 лет назад

Huge BRAVO! Fun watching some walking by doing their best to ignore. You can't ignore this and you shouldn't. It was beautiful. I'd have paid to have been there. I hope other companies consider the huge impact. Experience opera. Love opera.

@shantideva17 14 лет назад

These "flash" performances are really inspired acts of giving, providing their lucky audiences with not only a truly great musical treat, but the elements of enchantment and surprise. In point of fact, every moment of our lives is a gift and a surprise, but we lose touch with this basic fact and need to be reminded of it periodically

@clayguy1 14 лет назад

Can't believe there are 17 people at the time I'm writting this that showed thumbs down on this video.. This was amazing.. Wish we had them here in Montana. Just... brilliant

@TheKelzer 14 лет назад

Simply Brilliant!!! and on my Birthday no less! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!

@jewelmarkess 14 лет назад

What a brilliant idea! All opera companies should do it. People today don't know how beautiful opera can be, there is no opera on tv or radio. This can get more people to appreciate opera, to understand how much talent there is in opera, and ultimately will bring more people to opera houses. Love it!

@millegrazia 14 лет назад

I could watch this all day. This is my third time today. It is uplifting. It makes me feel alive. Thank you Opera Company of Philadelphia. I bet you didn't know you were ministers

@Largo64 14 лет назад

This brings tears every time I play it, and I smile until my cheeks hurt!

@AnnaRuthP 10 лет назад

I just love this. Have it as a shortcut & listen to it every once in a while.

@jewelmarkess 9 лет назад

I hope that you also listen to/watch a full version of La Traviata too as this would've made the singers from Philadelphia opera who perform here happy. But yes, I love this video too what a way to introduce opera to people.

@pagespinners2 14 лет назад

Absolutely lovely. How nice to see all those people suddenly brought to life by being surrounded by glorious music!

@philipbarr 14 лет назад

Kudos to the Opera Company of Philadelphia for their willingness to share and inspire others with such creativity!

@jodily 14 лет назад

Fabuloso! What a treat for those who happened to be in the market that day! Just wonderful how music bonds us together and makes people smile! And what a great way to promote opera to many who might otherwise have thought they didn't like it! BRAVO!!!

@snappy72761 14 лет назад

Very... VERY good job. I love these "spontaneous" productions in unexpected places. They are wonderfully performed and it is extremely interesting to watch the response from the audience. Thank you very much... I really enjoyed it.

@landenberg2341 14 лет назад

Wonderful! This is the way to get opera out. You could see people understanding the conversation by being able to see the singers faces. Do this again!!

@waderz67 14 лет назад

Absolutely magnificent. What a wonderful thing.

@kellyjohnson3617 6 лет назад

I wish someone at our local farmers market or mall would do this every now and then. I took my two preteen nieces to the opera and they loved it. Think they would have loved it more if they had heard much opera before

@StayUpStrack 14 лет назад

What a riot! That was awesome!! Kept me guessing every time.

@Ninsuna 14 лет назад

@CelticShadow75 14 лет назад

Who on earth would give this a thumbs down?? Even if you don't like opera, you have to appreciate what was done here. This was amazing!! It's now on my favorites list :)

@surengrigorian7888 Год назад

Perhaps they are elitists who do not appreciate the democratisation of opera.

@lbsilva 14 лет назад

Thank You!!! Fantastic and a great idea!!

@sternumagnum 14 лет назад

One of the great ideas in staging this is how the singers pretend to be feeling a bit awkward like everyone else and do not stand out at all. When the person next to you start sings opera and then the next and the next - it kinda gives you the feeling that you can sing too. Quite uplifting.

@bettyroos3620 8 лет назад

What a wonderful experience! Outstanding!

@GuillermoMiguelPerezSantalla 4 года назад

Giuseppe Verdi 150 years ago with his music helped to unite the Italians. It's amazing how the same music still unites people of all races and all ages. VIVA VERDI

@JeremyNasmith 14 лет назад

That's great! It's about time to see some "Opera Mobs". There've been many dance "Flash mobs" already, which are always a riot, but opera, or music, works just as well. Bravi!

@robertoniklos 14 лет назад

wonderful!...who was there had a great experience...if i could be there, great gift.

@PaulPistore 14 лет назад

I found myself grinning from ear-to-ear by the end of this! ^.^

@SandmansDelight 14 лет назад

Wonderful! I, too, think that this should be done more.

@msjonimoto 14 лет назад

Hope they got a lot of new subscribers to the opera from that! There are several "flash opera" videos on youtube but this is one of the best filmed. It captures the response of the audience so well. This just fills the heart with joy.
