OGILVY, Chicago / LYRIC OPERA OF CHICAGO / 2018

Overview

BriefExplanation
The message we wanted to convey through this radio campaign is that when you think opera, you shouldn’t be thinking of the stereotypical, stiff, boring pastime of the elites. The social snobbery usually associated with this art form is a thing of the past. Think instead of an imaginative, living, breathing art form created by men and women artists of intemperate genius and still fostered today by gifted composers and performers.
These radios debunk in a funny way some of the myths related to the Opera art form aiming to attract the younger generations and to give an idea of the “new” Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Eating poison mushrooms served by your girlfriend.
Pecked to death by a chicken.

she poisons you.
Being dragged to the depths of hell by a horde of demons.
Impaling yourself with a fence post after suffocating
your rival with a pillow
Throwing yourself off a cliff.
Throwing yourself into an abyss.
Throwing yourself into a cauldron of boiling water.
Being thrown by others into a cauldron of boiling water.
Drinking poisoned tea, then getting stabbed in the back,

There are so many ways to die at the opera.
