The East Village Opera Company rockifies opera. They’re sensational. Based in New York City, two of their members hail from Ottawa and they’re bringing the band here this weekend to play a free concert in the parking lot behind Friday’s Roast Beef House. At first glance, that seems an odd place to play, considering they’ve played Barrymore’s. But…this parking lot has some serious symbolic value. That’s where Ottawa’s new concert hall is going to be built.
So if you want to experience a huge rockin’ good opera band for free – complete with a string quartet, 2 opera singers, and a 5-piece band – come to the parking lot behind 150 Elgin Street this Friday night (July 21) at 8:00. I’ll see you there. (And if you can’t make it, they’re also playing at the Stewart Park music festival in Perth on Saturday.)
