Click to see the 1997 line up. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Theatre of Tragedy was a Norwegian metal band originally assembled in 1993, whose earlier albums are among the seminal works of the Gothic Metal genre. They helped pioneer the technique of Soprano and Gravel: while not the first to use it (Celtic Frost, Paradise Lost, and The Gathering did it before them), they were the ones to popularise it, as well as the first to give equal prominence to the male and female vocalist, resulting in the technique being a staple of the genre, possibly to the point of overuse.Their first three albums featured growled vocals and lyrics written predominantly in Early Modern English. From Musique onwards, the band abandoned Early Modern English lyrics and death grunts, also switching to industrial rock for two albums. They returned to Gothic Metal on Storm, though it was more modern-sounding than their first three albums and still had modern English lyrics. Their final album, Forever Is the World pays tribute to all the styles they had played, while still giving them a more contemporary Gothic Metal sound.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The band split on October 2nd, 2010, 17 years to the day after forming, with a concert in their hometown of Stavanger, Norway, which was recorded and released as a farewell CD/DVD. | |

Non-Appearing Title | |
| Theatre of Tragedy (Music) / int_67784113 | comment |
Non-Appearing Title: Theatre of Tragedy, Aégis and Assembly all have neither a Title Track nor a Title Drop. As for individual songs: The demo "Soliloquy". "Sweet Art Thou" from the self-titled; "Monotonë" too, but it's an instrumental, so that's a given. "On Whom The Moon Doth Shine", "The Masquerader And Phœnix" (thou "the masquerader" does), and the title track from Velvet Darkness They Fear. "Der Tanz Der Schatten" and its English counterpart, "As The Shadow Dance", both mention the respective words, but only mixed up in a full sentence. "Decades" from A Rose for the Dead. "Angélique", "Siren", "Samantha" and "Virago" from Aégis. "Retrospect" from Musique. The title of "Image" is not mentioned either in the English or the French version, nor is its demo name, "Quirk". Assembly takes the cake: "Superdrive", "Envision", "Liquid Man", and "Motion". "Episode" neither, though it gets a mention on "Superdrive". "Disintegration" on Storm. "Transition", "Empty", and "Illusions" on Forever Is The World. In "The Breaking", "break" appears, but as a verb. | |

Changed for the Video: "Machine". "Der Tanz Der Schatten", "Aœde" and "Cassandra" also got radio / single edits, the latter (called the "Cheap Wine Edit") being the version the band has always performed live, including on Closure:Live and Last Curtain Call. "...A Distance There Is..." also got a drastically shortened version when played live (such as in Closure:Live). | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| Theatre of Tragedy (Music) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name with an S: Given the use of Flowery Elizabethan English, several titles include accents or other special characters and are thus rarely spelled correctly online, epecially in the Anglosphere. These include: "Hollow-Heartéd, Heart-Departéd", "Mïre", "Monotonë", " The Masquerader And Phœnix", "Angélique", "Aœde", "Poppæa", and Aégis itself. There are some inconsistencies even on the band's official website! Other frequent victims are songs with punctuation in the titles, such as "Dying - I Only Feel Apathy", "...A Distance There Is...", "Fair And 'Guiling Copesmate Death" (see the apostrophe?), and "Crash/Concrete". Is it Musique, with the song "Space Age"? Or ['mju:zik] with "Космическая Эра"? Raymond István Rohonyi and Liv Kristine Espenæs get that a lot, too. | |

Flowery Elizabethan English | |
| Theatre of Tragedy (Music) / int_b351349c | comment |
Given the use of Flowery Elizabethan English, several titles include accents or other special characters and are thus rarely spelled correctly online, epecially in the Anglosphere. These include: "Hollow-Heartéd, Heart-Departéd", "Mïre", "Monotonë", " The Masquerader And Phœnix", "Angélique", "Aœde", "Poppæa", and Aégis itself. There are some inconsistencies even on the band's official website! | |

Hairstyle Inertia | |
| Theatre of Tragedy (Music) / int_c7aa8090 | comment |
Hairstyle Inertia: Raymond's got a nearly perfect score, being the only male member that kept his hair long and dark, metalhead style, for almost his entire tenue in the band, only cutting it short after shooting the Forever Is The World promo photos, by which point he couldn't wait for the tour (and the band) to be over. He even kept it long during the Musique and Assembly eras, when even Hein first bleached his own platinum and then cut it to a Nineties curtain style). Downplayed with both Liv and Nell. The former changed many styles and lengths, but always kept her trademark platinum blonde colour. The latter has changed colours and worn it down in a few photos, but has most often sported her trademark half updo with a side part and a loose, teased out bun atop her head (the Last Curtain Call DVD being a notable exception). | |

Soprano and Gravel: The Trope Codifier, with their first two albums popularising this technique. Their later works keep the style, but do it slightly differently: Aégis alternates it with softly spoken or whispered parts; Musique, Assembly and Storm have male vocals which are mostly spoken or sung clean in a monotone; Forever Is the World brings back some growl alongside the spoken parts. | |
