For most people today classical Opera is too different from modern life to enjoy. They turn away from the Opera stage and watch cinema or television. Some Opera directors responded by using the images, metaphors and editing techniques of cinema and pop-videos to attract audiences again. "Someday On The Misty Island" now takes the challenge of how to make Opera a more exciting and meaningful experience using multimedia technology.

This Webeo - an experimental interactive music video - uses a collage of influences linking Cinema and Opera, Literature and Pop-culture, in order to create an on-line, interactive fantasy story. "Someday On The Misty Island" interprets classical Operas with contemporary visions, diverging from traditionally accepted Opera principles. The story offers a series of larger than life characters: an eccentric female reporter, grand-daughter of famous Charles Foster "Citizen" Kane and six extraordinary women with names such as Charlotte, Eboli, Delilah or Carmen.

This Webeo extends the boundaries associated with a music video clip and creates a surreal interactive journey using the music of Opera and pop-culture.
