Summary Car Crash Opera (2012)

'Car Crash Opera' is an all singing short animated cartoon, constructed as an homage to that paragon of American cinematic art form staples -- the car crash film. But this is sung as an opera, with seven characters, graphic and musical flourishes, poignant interludes, orchestration, and sound effects. Voila! Contemporary Car-Nage. Animator and librettist Skip Battaglia worked with composers Michaela Eremiasova and Jairo DuArte-Lopez for the initial soundtrack. Eastman School of Music students sang the roles and played all orchestral pieces. 'Car Crash Opera' extends between the funny and tragic, the graphically beautiful and terrifying, an all musical mechanical pileup, and more sublime than ironic.
