Accounts of crossover forms like 'popera' and musical theatre explore alternative approaches to operatic vocality, considering how entrenched genre ideologies are challenged by creative agents, practices, and technologies at work near opera's borders. This Element presents a case study of operatic arias reimagined for TikTok.

Opera Remixed critically examines operatic hybridity and considers the opportunities and challenges of disrupting traditional paradigms of classical singing. Accounts of crossover forms like 'popera' and musical theatre explore alternative approaches to operatic vocality, examining how entrenched genre ideologies are challenged by creative agents, practices, and technologies at work near opera's borders. To illustrate these dynamics, the second half of the Element presents a case study of operatic arias reimagined for TikTok as one possible blueprint for how opera might embrace innovation and 'remix' itself for a contemporary audience. Opera Remixed concludes with a critique of the elitist traditions that hinder opera's capacity for renewal, arguing that the art form will only be able to embrace a truly inclusive future by relinquishing constraints of canonical purity.

Introduction; 1. The opera voice (and its discontents); 2. Towards an operatic popular; 3. Aida on TikTok; 4. Finding the 'right' sound; Conclusions; References.
