  • On Saturday, May 26, 2012, members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and Orchestra visited IKEA Philadelphia and showed DIY shoppers that in the IKEA Marketplace, you can find what you need to make a dresser, a bedframe -- or beautiful music by Mozart!
    Opera Company of Philadelphia Composer in Residence Lembit Beecher arranged the famous Papageno-Papagena duet from The Magic Flute for piccolo and found percussion.
    The performance is one of 1,000 Random Acts of Culture taking place nationally during a three-year period funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Knight Foundation's Random Acts of Culture bring artists out of the performance halls and into the streets and our everyday lives. For more videos and information, visit RandomActsofCulture.org.

    This is the BEST Random Act of Culture that I've seen from the Opera Company of Philadelphia. Love the Magic Flute, the surprise and delight on the "audience," and the use of the IKEA merchandise as part of the performance! Love it! Love it! Love it! I really wish San Francisco Opera would do something even remotely like this in the Bay Area on a regular basis. We need some happiness over here. Thank you for sharing.

    This is just the best because of the creative instrumentation, and the fact it is intimate, not a mob. Bravo! indeed :-)

      I also love how the singers interact with the people in that setting, even though no one knows what is going on.

    This reminds me of my preschool years when I would drive my mother crazy thinking I'd break her dishes and dent her pots and pans whil I did this sort of thing! What an effect doing Mozart in this way!! This is one of my favorite flashmobs...

    Awww.....of course it has to be Mozart to capture the little ones hearts at 3:53, even hundreds of years later; it is still magical (The Magic Flute / Die Zauberflöte).

    this is absolutely, totally the very best I've seen. I just love the way they used what was there to make the music (with the exception of the flute). Totally impressed!!! keep up the good work!!!

    Wonderful! I think this song was the first opera piece I saw performed at a special program for the elementary schools in my CT hometown. This, and the one from the Magic Flute that was performed in the library by you guys. I'm glad so many little ones were present for this random act. I wonder if they went home and created auxiliary percussion instruments?! Little dude shouting "bravo" already knows what's up. I hope we'll see him in years to come singing tenor, or playing bass. :D

    Fantastic! This is one of my favorite arias of all time, and this version is fabulous. I love the looks of surprise and delight on the shopper's faces. I'm driving down to Philadelphia in April to see this company's performance of 'Die Zauberflote', and I can't wait! See you all opening night :)

    Oh yes, beautiful performance.
    Striking to see that the more "visibly" minority people, like the Asian-looking kids or the Indian-looking people are reacting a lot more spontaneously and immediately. Possibly in their home culture music or performance in the street or "retail" context is not as unusual or shocking as for the "locals".... Bravo Philadelphia Opera!

    Most people have no idea that an opera can sound beautiful because on a record or television or smart phone it is canned and has no life. The beauty is not apparent. In real life the music is so much better. I sing in parking lots sometimes.

  • @zBeestBeest

    I went to IKEA today, saw this, and started singing "Pa-pa-pa-pa." Can you imagine if that was in the store then? www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30311637/

    Why not just find a local opera theater or go to a Met HD broadcast? They are trying to introduce people to opera and get people to go to opera why not show that what they are doing is not in vain?
