What happens when punk meets opera?

What does it sound like when classical singers and musicians decide to tackle punk classics?

Listen to a tiny bit of the new album The Anarchy Arias by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and singers from the English National Opera.

The songs are versions of God Save the Queen by the Sex Pistols, Oh Bondage Up Yours by X-ray Specs and Pretty Vacant by the Sex Pistols.
