It's time for #operaplot 2010!

The Twitter contest known as #operaplot is back! #Operaplot was formed on Twitter last year by Canadian music blogger The Omniscient Mussel. The goal is to summarize an opera in 140 characters or less. Tag your summary on Twitter with #operaplot to be entered into an international competition, judged by none other than tenor superstar Jonas Kaufmann. Prizes this year are pretty incredible, with everything from an opera trip to Ireland to recordings of the complete Mozart operas up for grabs. Sign up for Twitter today to join the #operaplot fun..and while you're there, follow @MadOpera! We just posted our first entry: "A captain is cursed to sail, a girl obsesses over his tale/ Gold is exchanged, a marriage arranged/ Problems arise, girl dies." Sound familiar? Details on the contest can be found here:
