Opera Pop

Produced by Balich Worldwide Shows  who “head hunted” Francisco Negrin as the ideally skilled person to work on this crossover of opera, pop music and new technologies . Thanks to their choice, a long and rich collaboration started between BWS and Negrin and a whole new world of creativity opened for Negrin, in parallel to his work in Opera. On this occasion Negrin Francisco wrote and directed the largest ice show to date: Intimissimi on Ice-OPERA POP. It opened at the roman arena in Verona Italy in 2014. It innovatively and spectacularly mixed specially arranged symphonic pop music and favourite opera extracts, integrating live opera singers and world champion skaters with video projection on screens and on the ice surface. The show featured pop stars Pharell Williams and Anastacia and was designed by Gioforma with lighting by Bruno Poet and Video by Kate Dawkins. Arrangements and original music by John Metcalfe.
