ABOUT OPERA ON TAP
Opera on Tap is a group of professional classical singers hellbent on returning opera to the people by creating performance opportunities in bars, breweries, and rock and jazz venues. Our goal is to regale hearts and heads with transcendent song by legendary composers performed by passionate singers. Everyone deserves to experience this! We create powerful, fun, and irreverent events in informal venues all around the United States and Germany. We’re bringing opera back to the people!

From L.A. TIMES, Rick Schultz: “... a gifted and irreverent group of classically trained vocalists whose purpose is to take the ‘grand’ out of grand opera.”
From THE NY SUN, Alec Magnet: “Raucous and sublime… un-­‐elitist, imperfect, and fun”

About Opera on Tap
Opera on Tap is a national group of professional classical singers and instrumentalists hell bent on returning opera to the people by creating performance opportunities in bars and rock and jazz venues. Alec Magnet (NY Sun) describes Opera on Tap as, "Raucous and sublime… un-elitest, imperfect, and fun." Rick Schultz (LA Times) calls Opera on Tap Los Angeles“... a gifted and irreverent group of classically trained vocalists whose purpose is to take the ‘grand’ out of grand opera.” Our goal is to reach as many people as possible with our message that opera is a transcendent art form that everyone deserves to experience

About Classical Revolution: L.A.
Classical Revolution: L.A. presents chamber music in relaxed, accessible venues throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The group makes "chamber music cozy comfy in bars, clubs, coffee shops" and more "unexpected hangouts." (L.A. Weekly) Mark Swed of the L.A. Times called it an "addictive new series," that can make chamber music "startlingly subversive." Classical Revolution was founded in 2006 at the Revolution Cafe in San Francisco. The Classical Revolution model has spread around the world, with over 30 active chapters in cities around the US, Canada and Europe.

We would like a group of about 10 classical singers (current OOT members, hoepfuls, or lovers) to band together for a brief rehearsal of 'Libiamo' in front of the clock tower before we practice 'random acts of opera' to promote the Opera on Tap St. Patrick's Day Show on 3/17.

This is the link to the Libiamo music we'll be using:

If you would like to sing a snippet of a street-appropriate, a cappella aria or duet (think something recognizable like Lakme, Carmen, Barcarolle, etc.) then let me know!

We will meet in front of the clock tower. Look for the woman & man in the viking helmets. We will bring as many as possible for all who show up, but please do let me know ahead of time if you plan on coming--and please don't flake at the last minute 🙂 It's only and hour and a half to make a huge impact on unsuspecting market attendees.

the Sluts of Opera! (and the men who love them)

the Sluts of Opera! (and the men who love them)

Jun 6, 1:00am - Jun 6, 2:30am

In January of 2011 a Toronto police office suggested that female university students should not dress like “sluts” if they want to avoid being raped. The statement created a public uproar resulting in the organization of “Slut Walks” in cities across North America that brought attention to the shaming of women for being sexual.

We here at Opera on Tap, have NEVER been ashamed of our opera sluts. You might even say we depend on them! (Where would ticket sales be without them?) So in honor of strong, sexual women everywhere, we present The Sluts of Opera: and the men who love them! Join us, and you will love them too.
