I think opera flash mobs are the greatest invention since non-sliced artisanal bread. Although when I saw Trovatore at the MET the male chorus all took off their shirts. Either they got some ringers or that chorus is in great shape.  (Notice that I did work in a food reference.)

 

In the YouTube video, shirts are removed, but only by a few of the cutlet, er, anvil pounders. (Food reference: didn't such males used to be called "beefcake"?)

 

Flash mobs, especially opera ones, are just great. I hope to witness one some day. Maybe I'll have to organize one of my own. And speaking (again) of food, here's one from several years ago at Whole Foods, most likely in the Baltimore area.

The YouTube video I linked to above is of a performance by the Met and, yes, shirts are removed, but only by a few of the cutlet, er, anvil pounders. (Food reference: didn't such males used to be called "beefcake"?)
