This New York band deftly fuses rock and opera ... their love of both genres always shines through." - Entertainment Weekly
Featuring a powerhouse five piece rock band, a string quartet and two outstanding vocalists, East Village Opera Company brings the towering emotion and timeless musicality of opera into the 21st century.
"This music, played with percise and surging verve, may not have made such a theatrical splash since Mozart first unleashed it on 18th century Vienna." - Wall Street Journal
"They produce something genuinely fresh that combines classical beauty with rock energy." - Boston Herald
"We're a cover band that plays hits from 250 years ago." - East Village Opera Company founder Peter Kiesewalter
