The show was dedicated to emotion. The emotion of clothing and music.  <\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s there to marvel at? Excellence of style? The subtlety of phrasing? The beauty of the costumes? Has there ever been such fine audacity in this repertoire? Between the contralto&#8217;s rare and unsettling timbre and the dense, dark sound of the DJ and Art Vj, the osmosis is carefully maintained. Drum&#8217;n&#8217;base, ElectroPoP, Deep House Burlesque and Opera Airs mingled with Organza, Satin, Organdy , Denim, and Cr\u00eape. YSO and Dominique Guindon, head of the costume workshop, made a splash. Fashion was looking for emotion.        <\/p>\n<p>The musical arrangements by Christian Pronovost (whom Paris loves) and Zilon&#8217;s Basquiat-flavored live visual arts performances charmed. The harmonious blend of the voices of Antoine B\u00e9langer (dark, fiery tenor), \u00c9tienne Dupuis (baritone, allegro) and Caroline Bleau (tenor) was an outstanding success.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"425\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HB2meh3IY1Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I particularly liked Caroline Bleau. Serious and tragic, she is vocally sumptuous; her last aria, in particular, was rightly acclaimed at length: she has the ideal voice for the role, and plays it perfectly. Her coquettishness adds to her charm, justifying the personal triumph she received at the salute.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"480\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nWOPtFF14kU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>An urban blend of what our lives have become: Instant Modernity.  <\/p>\n<p>Receiving a standing ovation from an audience that we would have liked to see even larger for a fashion recital of this quality, Mode et Op\u00e9ra will be performing its next show in Hollywood this autumn.<\/p>\n<p>The thrill continues&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ciao!<\/p>\n<p>Alessandro | t : @thecaprissimo  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L&#8217;OP\u00c9RA DE MONTR\u00c9AL, in a North American premiere, presented opera at the crossroads of fashion, song, electronic music and theater.
