The Mario Opera

Opera and video game addicts take note, Johnathon Mann has created the perfect cross over hit, the Mario Opera. The opera is more like a folk rock opera than the traditional fat lady one, covering Mario staples acoustically with tongue in cheek lyrics. Take Things Are Familiar, for example, which mixes the underground music from the NES games with meta referential lyrics that suggest that Mario is aware that he may have died and come back to life. Heroes questioning their very nature is more Metal Gear than Miyamoto. It's heady stuff that you wouldn't expect from a game that features plumbers jumping on turtles.
