OOT DC Metro presents: What The Fach?

Aug 24, 11:00pm - Aug 25, 1:00am

The Wonderland Ballroom1101 Kenyon St NWWashington D.C., DC20010 Map

We're mixing things up this month - everyone will sing music for any voice type except their own! Sopranos singing bass arias, tenors singing mezzo arias... we're turning the classical vocal system upside down!

Q: What the fach is a fach?
A: The "fach system" is a German vocal classification system used in opera

Q: So why would a singer sing music that's not written for their voice type?
A: Because it's FUN! And there are no rules at OOT, so why not? Bring on the vocal anarchy!

Q: Is this show free?
A: YUP. Though we always gratefully accept donations!

Q: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A: Depends on whether you define "chuck" as "eat" or "throw"/"toss". If you mean "eat", then a woodchuck can chuck 0.8 lbs of wood per day. If you mean "throw" or "toss", then a woodchuck can chuck 700 lbs of wood per day. You're welcome.

Artists: TBD

Fach: singer classification based on the range, weight, and color of the voice.

To that we say, "Ha! I will be Cinderella's Prince, even if I am a mezzo!" "And you, burly gentleman...we will allow you to beg your daddy for permission to marry." For one night only, Opera on Tap is up-ending the fach system and encouraging our singers to sing only what they want, and not always what they are supposed to.

Get ready for some truly inspiring new interpretations of some very familiar tunes, and wonder what might have been...and enjoy some great food and drink while you're at it. It's free, fun, and a great way to kick off the weekend!
