I came across two YouTube videos today on Facebook that are entertaining and post-worthy for the following reasons:

1. They are both kind of neato.

2. I think it’s interesting that the Lady Gaga remake has gotten far more views than the La Traviata at Whole Foods clip. Not surprising, but just interesting. What does opera need to do to get more viewers? To oversimplify – opera is just not as cool and accessible as Lady Gaga sung by a cute girl on 4 iPhones – and it never will be. But is that necessarily a criticism?
