Yes, some things in life are hard to explain — and operaFLiX is one of them.   So we asked some of our favorite stereotypes to help us out,  and here's what they said: 

Joe Hollywood:     "Imagine if you morphed THE MATRIX with THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, tossed in TOMMY and mixed with mystery element X."

Indie Film Gal:   "The visuals are like really artsy, like a music video, and yet raw and immediate like indie films. I can't believe they do it all on a low budget."

Theater Buff:  "Their shows have exciting, cool music and amazing Broadway performers!  I just wish they'd make a movie of CARRIE:THE MUSICAL!"

Opera Singer:   "How dare they call it opera! Only a few of the mezzo sopranos sing properly, the rest of them sound like pop stars!"

Which brings us to the next question:

Why the OPERA in operaFLiX?

Let's go straight to the source - operaFLiX's composer:

Jay Alan Zimmerman:  "The word OPERA is in operaFLiX because the music is structured similarily to an opera even though it sounds more like RENT than Puccini. The stories are also grand themes, like opera . . . but surreal and Twilight Zone-ish."

If that doesn't make sense, complain to JAZ@operaflix.com.
