MTV-style showcase brings opera back to Baltimore

The Opera Show, described as an "MTV-style" showcase of popular opera arias with choreography, is coming to Baltimore as a part of the Lyric Opera House's efforts to bring back opera after the Baltimore Opera Company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy last December.  Sandy Richmond, President and Executive Director of the Lyric, hopes that The Opers Show's "Cirque du Soliel"-like style will reach a younger audience.  

Will this kind of programming really attract new opera-goers and recharge the opera scene in Baltimore?
