popera

popera
a) A crossover genre combining elements of pop music and classical opera.

McLaren is a dozy Pinkerton, an uptight Don José ("Carmen is an animal/uncontrollable stuff..."), and his American-accented voices ride perfect over the beat. "Popera," someone said. The parts may be better than the whole, though.

b) A musical or operatic work performed in this style.

And at only 160 centimeters tall and weighing 48 kilograms, Korean singer Lim Hyung-joo is poised to stand amongst the heavyweights of the popera industry.
