Opera Company of Philadelphia “Flash Brindisi” at Reading Terminal Market (April 24, 2010)
Written by Mark Steinhouser on July 19th, 2011
On Saturday, April 24th, the Opera Company of Philadelphia teamed up with the Reading Terminal Market Italian Festival for a large-scale “Flash Opera” event! Over 30 members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and principal cast members of LA TRAVIATA performed the famed “Brindisi” in the aisles of Reading Terminal Market, entertaining hundreds of Philadelphians, and proving that the perfect accompaniment for all things Italian is a little Verdi! The Opera Company sincerely thanks members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and cast for generously volunteering their time and talents… BRAVI TUTTI!! LA TRAVIATA runs from May 7 – 16 at the Academy of Music. For tickets/info: 215-893-1018 or operaphila.org

The guy at Carmen’s at 3:02 is a pretty awesome guy. I was just at Reading Terminal Market on 5/12/11 on a business trip, trying to get my first legit Philly cheese steak and I was about a dollar short. The guy reached into is own pocket and produced enough to complete the sale, despite my protests that I’d just order something less expensive.
If I ever go back, I’m going to stop by and pay him back.

If you’re going to have a Flash Opera singing an Italian favorite, the Reading Terminal is the place to do it.

Muito bom! Muito bom mesmo!
Teria ainda ficado ainda mais legal se tivessem feito a parte do Marques, quando ele pede atenção de todos, e daí começar o Brindisi.
Mas ficou ótimo acho muito mais construtivo flash mobs como esses do que caminhada de zumbis e brigas de travesseiro.
