OPERATICA: "O"
Volume 1 (E-Magine Entertainment)
Reviewed by Holly Day

How could they do this? How could anyone take a perfectly wonderful, world-class opera singer-Maureen O'Flynn-and pair her with a selection of arrangements that barely showcases her voice? I don't mind that this is mostly dance music-in fact, I love the idea of classic opera combined with contemporary forms-but the music reminds me more of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" than anything else, and I can't stand "Thriller." The few rare glimpses we get of O'Flynn's talent are rare and spectacular; spectacularly wasted on this. Shame, shame, shame.
