It’s getting hard to dismiss the cultural influence of Lady Gaga, especially when you see the Gaga phenomenon inspiring György Ligeti’s satirical “anti-anti-opera” Le Grand Macabre staged at The New York Philharmonic this summer. In this clip, we encounter Gaga-inspired costumes and performance as we watch Gepopo, chief of the secret service, telling Prince Go Go about the panic breaking out in the streets…
On a related note, don’t miss Christopher Walken reading Gaga’s “Poker Face”.
You have to admit, that’s some fiercely impressive singing.
