The World

The folks at the Royal Opera House in London are trying to bring opera to the masses. And they are using very tech savvy means: they’re letting any and everybody in the Twitter-sphere compose a collaborative masterpiece. The premise is simple: You tweet it, they sing it. For more about the ambitious project, we talk to Alison Duthie, the head of the Royal Opera House, about the world’s first operatic tweet.
