You may remember the article we posted about the surprise opera performance in a mall in Argentina. Well, here is another, this time Seraphic Fire surprises patrons at the Aventura Mall in Miami. Beware! You never know where talent lurks. A Random Act of Culture may hit your town soon!
Encore!

Laurie,
I am in love with this phenomenon (also sometimes referred to as a flash mob). Pure old-fashioned music and/or dancing with no technology (except people taking pictures with their phones)combined with the element of surprise. I love watching the faces of the crowd as much as the performers.
There’s something about taking music and dancing off of the stage and “mixing it up” in a normal everyday environment that emphasizes its beauty even more. The opera performance in Argentina was breathtaking and very moving.
Here is another well-known “flash mob” performance designed as an ad for T-Mobile:

Thank you Jeryl! This is so much fun! Thanks for sharing!
Make you just wanna dance, doesn’t it?

I love Seraphic Fire. They are one of my favorite musical groups and flash mobs are so awesome! Thanks for showing this.
Thanks Ruthy! I would love to see this live, wouldn’t you?
Laurie
This is so great! I like the one the Opera did at Dadeland Mall too:
Do you watch Modern Family? They did an episode on it. Such a funny show!
Thanks for sharing!
Elyse,
I have watched Modern Family once or twice but did not catch that episode.
Thanks for commenting and sharing the video! Love it!
Laurie
