Micaela Haley is about to command the theatre of your mind and render you captive with her first recorded statement, Syren. Composed of twelve techno-phonic interpretations of some of opera’s most breathtaking hours including three original pieces, Micaela's Syren is a powerful and boundary transcending experience. The music soars from lucid meditations to power surges of pulsing choruses, each number boldly realized in state-of-the-art strokes as Micaela masterfully lends voice to the emotions underneath. Mistress Micaela strips the art form at the seams exposing the salacious current that runs throughout the world of opera, transporting ageless classical standards from the realm of museum pieces to vibrant compositions of reviviscence. At the heart of Syren beats Micaela's fiery streak of defiance against the hypocrisy at play between opera's artier-than-thou veneer and the proliferation of decadence at its core. “People tend to think that opera is so conservative,” Micaela mocks, “but it is so not. I want to show what really lurks at opera’s core.” Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
