The Rock Opera is a rock Concept Album taken to its logical conclusion: telling a single, complete story mostly—if not entirely—sung from one or more characters' points of view. The "opera"-ness of the form varies significantly. Some present the point of view of a single (possibly unnamed) character, while others have explicitly-named characters interacting with each other in song (and likely performed by different singers). The Other Wiki's entry for Tommy suggests that "rock cantata" or "rock song cycle" might be a more accurate term, since a rock opera is purely a musical performance that is not necessarily intended to be staged or acted out. This is odd, since Tommy was the first widely heard Rock Opera, and was farther on the opera side of this scale. Especially popular rock operas tend to get adapted as The Musical, although as there may be staging difficulties or only one or two characters with singing parts, changes are often made. A few skip the whole "concept album" phase and are written explicitly for the stage. This sometimes marks the Jumping the Shark point of the band or the band's dissolution, especially if only one musician wants to do a rock opera and the others don't. (See: Styx.) A recent subgenre of the Rock Opera is the Urban Opera or "hip-hopera", concept albums and musicals telling stories using hip-hop instead of rock music. A well-known example of hip-hopera would be R. Kelly's epic, ongoing "Trapped in the Closet", with 33 chapters and counting. However, rappers are more likely to have a story-telling song or two on each album than dedicate one entirely. Not to be confused with the Black Mages' version of the opera from Final Fantasy VI in their third album, Darkness and Starlight, wherein they set the operatic (Japanese) lyrics from the original game to a blistering heavy metal interpretation of the original music — though this only constitutes a single 15-minute track from the album. |

Clone High did an episode that was billed as a Rock Opera. Jack Black basically convinces all the kids that smoking raisins gets you high, with the typical "dangers of drugs" story as a result. It was very trippy and paid tribute to Tommy and The Beatles a couple of times. The music was actually pretty good. | |

RENT was a highly successful rock opera. It set the bar for other rock operas not made by bands to thrive on Broadway, such as: Spring Awakening, Passing Strange, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Memphis (although created by Bon Jovi's keyboardist) and Next to Normal. |

Blows Against the Empire by Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane was one of the earliest, released in 1970, only a year after Tommy. It is the story of how a rag-tag band of hippies hijack a starship, and was nominated for a Hugo Award as best science-fiction work of the year in the "dramatic presentation" category—usually reserved for movies. | |

Arkaik started an ongoing conceptual saga with Metamorphignition involving Cyrix, a monk on a magical planet ruled by a mage dictatorship that severs the populace from its innate gifts via Anti-Magic. Metamorphigition: Cyrix attempts to commit suicide via self-immolation, only to have his consciousness shunted into an alternate reality, where he is greeted by several fae-like spirits who show him visions of the ills of the world, and then by the Omnipus, a cephalopoid god who shows him the nature of creation and informs him of his status as The Chosen One. Lucid Dawn: Cyrix emerges from his visions with knowledge of his purpose and begins to gather his forces and awaken the populace to the true nature of the world they live in, which ends in an uprising that destroys one of the main Anti-Magic-generating temples. Nemethia: Cyrix is contacted by an enclave of banished mystics who knew of the prophecy of The Chosen One and sat in hiding waiting for them to manifest, who hold the magic necessary for the safe use of a dimensional portal that Cyrix needs to be able to access in order to ascend to the level of power necessary to achieve his mission. |

To a certain extent, the Madness album The Liberty of Norton Folgate could be considered as one (although the songs aren't technically rock). The first track is called Overture, which introduces a lot of the melodic ideas which appear later on and leads directly into We Are London. Most of the songs on the album - such as Sugar and Spice and NW 5 - tell stories about either growing up in London or travelling through London (except for Africa, which instead ends with an instrumental extract of the title track). The Liberty of Norton Folgate itself is a ten minute long story about the sights, sounds and history of the eponymous area of London. | |

Lifehouse, initiated by The Who in 1970, ultimately released 30 years later as a Pete Townshend solo album. (Note that Townshend was quite prolific in this genre.) The aborted Who version of Lifehouse is considered by Townshend to form a trilogy with Psychoderelict and Wire and Glass, each of which feature Author Avatar Ray High in different stages of his career. | |

The work was also the namesake for Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson, itself part of a triptych of rock operas, along with Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). Apparently the chronological order of the story is the reverse of the release dates of the albums. It's all really an extended version of The Wall with more Nightmare Fuel. Ironic, considering Roger Waters' enduring hatred of Andrew Lloyd Webber. |

Jesus Christ Superstar, by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, began life as a Rock Opera, with Deep Purple's Ian Gillan as Jesus, Murray Head as Judas and Yvonne Elliman as Mary. The work was also the namesake for Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson, itself part of a triptych of rock operas, along with Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). Apparently the chronological order of the story is the reverse of the release dates of the albums. It's all really an extended version of The Wall with more Nightmare Fuel. Ironic, considering Roger Waters' enduring hatred of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Parodied in Mr. Show as "Jeepers Creepers Semistar" with Jack Black in the title role. |

The oft forgotten S.F. Sorrow by the '60s British group, The Pretty Things. S.F. Sorrow tells the story of Sebastian F. Sorrow, who endures World War I, and then returns to his love, who is killed in a the crash of The Hindenburg. Sorrow falls into a severe state of depression, and is then taken on a journey by the mythical Baron Saturday. The Baron throws Sorrow into a room of mirrors, where he sees the horrible truths and revelations of his life, ending with Sorrow secluding himself from society and building a mental and emotional wall. And this was ten years before Roger Waters had even thought of The Wall yet. Notable for being considered one of the first Rock Operas. Produced at Abbey Road, during the same time The Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Pink Floyd were recording The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. | |

A notable failure would be 1981's Music from "The Elder" by Kiss, which flopped commercially, causing the planned tour and feature film to be cancelled, alienated much of the band's fanbase (those who hadn't already given up on the group after a set of subpar solo albums, a cheesy over-the-top TV movie, a switch to cartoonish superhero-like costumes, two straight disco records and the departure of drummer Peter Criss) and led to the departure of founding lead guitarist Ace Frehley, who opposed the idea of a concept album from the start and hardly appears on it. | |
