I won't say anything except that I have tears in my eyes. The scene is the central market place in Valencia, Spain.

The magic of song changes everything:

Me too now - but I'd just been thoroughly primed by listening on the radio to a sublime performance of Der Rosenkavalier live from the New York Metropolitan Opera, on BBC radio here in England.

.. all of which makes me think - what a small world we live in!

Oh, the look of joy on the faces of those people! How we need more magic such as that. And I bet those people will remember it all their lives.

That was absolutely Beautiful!

Thank you, Amos.

Amos, that is going to do so much to encourage my brother who is almost finished with an opera he's been working on. How beautiful and magical! Thank you, so much, for posting the link!

Good live music in unusual places, reaches the parts of people that piped music doesn't reach.

It's becoming a bit of a youtube clasic set up, all the way from Antwerp Central Station to traditional music in the Montreal underground. Always great though.

I'd love to see it taking place in as many places as possible, right around the world, Peter. HOW this world needs brightening up with some wonderful happenings..and...it's free! :0)

Great way to get people interested in opera or dance, or whatever else may be being performed.

I'm really surprised there aren't more postings to this thread though..

An agreeable, more beneficent, variant on the sometimes more malevolent idea of the 'flash-mob'.

What a fantastic way for local operatic societies to show off and get the punters in to see their shows.

I loved every bit of it.

Thanks Amos... BTW How did you find it? I mean were you google searching opera in public places or something?
