Opera Being Composed On Twitter
musefrog writes "The BBC is reporting that the UK's Royal Opera House is to stage an opera created through social networking site Twitter. 'Members of the public have been invited to submit their 'tweets' online — messages of up to 140 characters — which will form the new libretto.The first scene of the as-yet-untitled work has already been completed and features a man who has been kidnapped by a group of birds. Excerpts will be performed at the Royal Opera House in September.' I'm personally looking forward to lots of idiotic net memes and inane emo ramblings being trilled out by aging sopranos."
...watching it in Opera.
The positive reviews for this will total 140 characters or less

Developers: We can use your help.
@twitopera: Full of fail. It is a pile of excrement and it stinketh to high heaven.
From a promotional press release: "@twitopera says new opera promotes growth and awakens the senses."
And if you don't believe that they'd do that, consider how movie reviewers' words are frequently twisted in advertising (e.g. "Pretty good if you like getting kicked in the head" becomes "Pretty good")

I just don't get Twitter. I'd rather read about my dad picking lint out of his bellybutton than sign up for an account; which from what I've seen is about the same thing.
I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!
"William is languishing in a tower, having been kidnapped by a group of birds who are anxious for revenge after he has killed one of their number." ... "Hans has promised to rescue him. The Woman With No Name is off to her biochemistry laboratory to make a potion to let people speak to the birds."
This will only be surpassed when Uwe Boll makes a movie based on MySpace.

It can be annoying.
Anything can be found funny, from a certain point of view.

Even the royal opera has problems to set 140 characters on stage
