A flash mob is

Quote:
... a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. The term is generally not applied to events organized by public relations firms, protests, and publicity stunts.

{from a Wikipedia article by the same name}

They've been around for a few years. The Wiki article is actually kind of interesting.

Drumming up buzz for the opera they're doing, I guess. (So, a publicity stunt, but a rather cool one.)
