Impossible things are happening every day
Remember “Toi et Moi,” the pectacular music video from which the above image is grabbed? Well, the terrific twosome who brought you that indelible video and perhaps slightly more delible audio, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Igor Krutoi, have done it again. Their newest collaboration, “a once-in-a-lifetime musical event” called “Deja Vu” arrives at Radio City Music Hall on March 6.
So, what is “Deja Vu,” you ask? Is it opera, rock concert, arena show, or what?
The answer is “or what,” actually. Ironically, “Deja Vu” promises to be something you’ve never seen before, to wit:
