The Velvet Rocks

„Passion, Drama and Cojones“
 
The Velvet Rocks are the three opera singers, Gustavo Castillo Estrada, Dmitry Iogman and Sandro Schmalzl. Taking the passion and drama of an opera aria and unleashing it onto a rock anthem - that's what The Velvet Rocks is all about.

Gustavo, Sandro and Dmitry dare to break down boundaries with their unique sound. They strive to create something new with rock songs we all know but have never heard like this before. They still perform at operas and recitals, but the time has come for them to break free from the classical guidelines, where the singer is often limited in shaping a piece or a role.

The Velvet Rocks are all about paying tribute to both of their favorite musical styles. They believe there are not that many differences between an opera singer in the middle of a gut wrenching aria and a rock star belting at the top of his lungs.
