Rock opera
A rock opera is a musical piece in the form of an opera or a musical in a modern rock and roll style rather than more traditional forms. It differs from conventional rock and roll music, which is often a song that is unlinked in plot or story with other songs.
Examples of rock operas include:
- The Who's Tommy and Quadrophenia
- David Bowie's The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars
- Pink Floyd's The Wall
- Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar
- Godspell
- Moulin Rouge (2001 movie).
