Operagasm’s First ‘Hot Opera Plot’ Contest!

mwimbish — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:00:43 +0000

by Melissa Wimbish

Are you tired of entering classical singing competitions and not winning or having any fun? So are we! That’s why we’re launching our own WAY cooler contest where you can let loose, be yourself, be funny, act silly, educate in a fun way, and win a chance at Operagasm fame!

All you have to do is make a video summarizing in your own words any opera plot of your choice — although we recommend not choosing the most obscure opera in the universe. Feel free to use animation, choreography, music, costumes, animals (as long as they are not harmed!) and whatever else it takes to bring your masterpiece to life.

If you need an example, don’t forget to check out our very first Hot Opera Plot, which aired this past summer thanks to the talents of Christine Killian and Georges Bizet:

Please email all submissions to melissa@operagasm.com by the **deadline of 12:00 midnight Eastern Standard Time on February 29th**. Your video must be in .m4v format (or at least something I can open on my Mac), no more than 10 minutes in length, and must not include any genitals — real or fake. Also, swearing is okay, but no excessive “S-words”, no “F-words”, and DEFINITELY no “C-words”. I personally enjoy swearing, but we have to keep it clean for the kids. We don’t want moms banning Operagasm from their children’s bookmarks! Think of future audiences, K?

At least four winners will be selected and will have their Hot Opera Plot featured on Operagasm! Winners will also receive slammin’ Operagasm gear and other classical music gems.

We can’t wait to see your craftiness! Happy plotting!

Competition Listings Update: January 27
