This ad launched earlier this fall -- but watching it
still makes me smile and long to sing opera.
EA SPORTS launched a two-minute video to promote its
FIFA 16 game that's full of famous soccer stars and operatic voices.
The global campaign stars Lionel Messi Sergio Aguero and Alex Morgan -- both as real people and video game avatars -- making tackles, strikes and goals in both realms, as a tweaked version of an aria
from the "Barber of Seville" plays. Watch out for cameo appearances from Kobe Bryant, Pele and the fat lady singing.

created by
Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam and directed by
Traktor.
