Marketing music

For a few months, I have found some videos on Youtube that crack me up every single time I see them! The videos are part of a series called "Dr. Opera." They are presented by the Lyric Opera of  Chicago to promote upcoming opera productions. Basically, there are a set of characters from different operas that come in for a psychologist appointment to talk about their problems. It is like the characters are living in our time period going to a shrink! I think it's a brilliant idea and one that people will find interestingly funny!

Something else I really enjoy is the 3 minutes or shorter previews that San Francisco Opera produces. These videos give you enough of the opera for you to have a general idea of what it's about without giving away the plot. It also allows you to be able to preview every aspect of the show before deciding to attend.

Feast of Music caught my eye by its very exciting title. I mean...a feast of music!? Who wouldn't want that? When I got to the page, I was excited about journeying through the music of New York because the website clearly stated this. It also gave a list of categories to peruse through and to find one of your liking. It was fun to discover some new music through the various categories that I wouldn't have found otherwise.
