Fabulous!

[jourdain2]

Terrific! Thanks Builder - what a great voice!

[The Builder]

Great fun, isn't it?
We do need some today :o)

[Buenchico]

Thanks, TB.

'Largo al factotum' is a favourite among the buskers at Covent Garden Piazza and always goes down with the crowds.

I probably spend rather too much time of my life watching flash mob videos on YouTube. (I've certainly watched hundreds of them, if not thousands). However this one, which I've posted here before, remains my favourite, simply because of the vastly different reactions of the kids to experiencing opera at first hand ;-)

[Lie-in King]

Marvellous! Ta, Builder :-)

[Buenchico]

I'll also repost this, which handily explains some operatic lyrics for everyone ;-)

[The Builder]

Oh, that was storming, Chris. It's such a great, but simple idea.
I spend half my time on Youtube. The expressions on the kids' faces were something you could never rehearse.
Thanks for that.

[The Builder]

^^^that was before I watched the soprano.
opera really does have a sense of humour. Thank god.

I'll be watching that again.
Thanks Mr King/Mamya/Jourdain

Haha.......................

[Bazile]

Where is she TB?

[Barsel]

One of my favourite operatic flash mobs.

[The Builder]

Now you can see why I rarely watch TV ;o)

Who Baz?.

[anneasquith]

Oh , another great one .

[Buenchico]

Nice video, Barsel, proving the flash mobs don't necessarily have to sing or dance to entertain ;-)

[DTCwordfan]

Great minds think alike Barsel.....see Chris's thread on 'Ode to Joy'

[gness]

The Builder. May I introduce another opera singer to your thread?

Harriet the donkey. A lad in Connemara found her as a stray...there are no stray donkeys. ;-)
When he got her home he found she was unable to hee-haw but she could sing. She sings to passers by now as she likes an audience... :-)

Many believe she is the re-incarnation of a famous opera singer.
