A few weeks ago, Act I of Cosmic Opera introduced an extraordinary new dance experience, combining the incredible talent of Swedish House Mafia's Axwell, with the beauty and mystery of the opera, all set against the backdrop of the magnificent Hammerstein Ballroom. Act I was the Overture, and now Cosmic Opera presents the first taste of Act II: Imbroglio, which will bring intensity, conflict, and charged emotion.
Act I, which sold out in minutes unveiled the 35 foot tall chandelier with over 5,000 crystal beeds which hung above head to the sold out room of ecentric and eclectic party goers, not to mention the 40 actors and aparatic dancers roaming through the crowd.
"As it would be for a true Italian opera, our first Act was an overture. It was the initial combination of opera, theater and EDM. In Act II we will continue to build the event series and go deeper to explore the possibilities of Cosmic Opera with Imbroglio."
- Justin Cohen, Cosmic Opera Founder

Act II: Imbroglio represents the evolution of Act I, taking the phenomenon and expanding, transitioning, and unfolding it to new heights, new depths, and everything in between. As Newsweek's Daily Beastsaid, "The show has become a full-blown laser spectacular to the point where one feels like they're in the movie Tron. Cosmic Opera is where the music is the story, the action and theatrics developed from the music brings it to life in ways you've never experienced before. "Manhattan Center's Hammerstein Ballroom cannot wait to show off Cosmic Opera Imbroglio, and the second of our open-house shows since May 1997." Sarah-Jane Bennison, Director of Sales and Marketing, Manhattan Center.
The mystery continues, the journey continues... what will happen this time around?

In 2009, Zedd began producing electronic club music to much acclaim. After only a few months he participated in Beatport's "Armand Van Helden / Strictly Rhythm Remix Contest", which he went on to win. This opened up a number of new possibilities for Zedd, and only shortly after, he won his second contest on Beatport, the "Fatboy Slim / Skint Remix Contest"! This was the foundation for several cooperations with artists such as Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, P. Diddy, Skrillex, Fatboy Slim, Armand Van Helden and labels like mau5trap, Interscope, Atlantic, Strictly Rhythm or Skint Records. His first release "The Anthem" entered the Beatport charts top 20, and even made it to the second place of Track It Down charts. His remix for Skrillex's "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites", released on 'mau5trap recordings' climbed up the charts to #4 on Beatport and #2 on Beatport's Electro House charts.

| This doesn't appear to have been selling too great. tickets are still available and to be honest, the lineup doesn't justify the ticket price. |

Besides the DJ line up there are usually a few other things considered other talent ie: performers, venue of course, lighting set up, marketing costs, etc.
I missed the first one so I am going to check it out to see for myself. The fact that there's other House events @ Roseland and Pacha the same nite definitely doesn't help the ticket sales either :p |
