Just so you know, I personally spoke with a PR rep at the Opera Company and asked her if she wanted me to remove this. She said NO WAY! It doesn't matter where the "hits" come from, they count them all -- including this video. The point is to get the word out and they are so glad you got a chance to see the Opera company in action. Thanks for all of your responses!

@hadaskuzni Definitely! I've been looking all over to find recordings from other people's perspective. ^^;

@Maestro2500 I stand corrected. Mein freund, was du sagst ist wahr. :)

@beachcomberinmd I disagree. First off, their video has 29K views, this isn't hurting them. Secondly, they did indeed put a lot of work into it, and do deserve credit for that, but you are forgetting that they did this with the INTENT of their performance being recorded by people and shared on places like YouTube as a re-acquaintance between America and the arts; that's why they did it. This 'all-exclusive' sentiment you are embodying is probably why they were separated in the first place.

I agree. You Really should take this down. Its not fair to OCP. You really are damaging their work and effort they put into their own video, It took weeks to pull the forces together. And they deserve all the hits on you tube....these 5000 views should be on their site, Not cool man...

This version sounds better. Why does their professionally edited video have distortion while this one does not? VOTED THUMBS UP

You really should take this video down and let the Opera C. get their professionally shot and editted version to take the lead. VOTED THUMBSDOWN
