 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When the aliens came, no one expected the fate of the Earth to depend on putting up a song and dance number. Space Opera is a book by Catherynne M. Valente, the story of Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes, Mira Wonderful Star and Oort St. Ultraviolet, or rather, what's left of them after a tragic roadshow accident, being enlisted as the only (living) pop group on Earth that has even an ice cube's chance in hell of not placing dead last in the Galactic Grand Prix: the yearly talent contest that decides both galactic resource allocation, whether new found species are sentient (and thus saved from being preemptively cleansed by a atomic fire) and the galaxy's new best singles for the pop charts.Not to be confused with the 1965 novel by Jack Vance, the 1974 anthology, the 1996 Genre Anthology, or the short story by Ray Russell, all of which have the same title.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The 321 are, surprisingly, sympathetic to humanity and other newly discovered organic beings because they were once in their place, and other species considered them like an emotionless IT Guy who could configure their printers for them.

 Cats Are Mean: Capo the Earth housecat is a terrible person, which is only confirmed when she develops the power of speech inadvertently through a mishap with a universal translator.

 Dyeing for Your Art: invokedA common occurrence at the Grand Prix, and at least once with a big heaping of Heroic Sacrifice. The monstrously violent race known as the Yurtmak was saved and gained recognition as being sentient when their act in the Grand Prix came on stage with the hollowed out corpse of her lover, sang her heart out by blowing life back into the bones to dance, then set herself on fire, and smiled and waved to the adoring crowd as they threw flowers that scorched off her pyre. The Yurtmak species were deemed to have a rich inner life, and her song became a hit at weddings.
