FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OPERATICA: “O” VOLUME 1 is the first release in a new series from E-Magine Entertainment that unites the sublime vocal acrobatics of opera divas with the futuristic textures of electronic music.  

Unlike past unions of the two forms, which found producers cutting and splicing bits of the most popular arias into rudimentary rhythmic structures, “OPERATICA” is an organic fusion of the two forms, uniting producers and divas in the studio to create altogether original and inspiring pieces of music. 

Classically-trained chanteuse Maureen O’ Flynn, regarded as one of opera’s most celebrated sopranos, lends her vocal expertise to the project, singing in Russian, French and English, as well as the more common Italian. U.K. born producer Lord Vanger is the orchestrator and arranger of this first volume who surrounds O’ Flynn’s angelic harmonies with an eclectic mix of musical styles that includes trip-hop, house, drum ’n’ bass, hip-hop and ambient. Together, the two have produced a suave, sophisticated and unapologetically sexy album that both embraces and challenges the conventions of classic opera.  

In addition to new compositions, Volume 1 of the series reinterprets timeless works by composers such as Antonio Vivaldi, Gulio Caccini, Christoph von Glück, Sergei Rachaminov, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and others, updating them into modern-day masterpieces while retaining the emotional energies and intent of the original works in the transition. It is a groundbreaking work destined to appeal to fans of both opera and electronic music, forging a strong artistic bridge between musical styles of the past and present.
