A rock opera is a work of rock music that presents a storyline told over multiple parts, songs or sections; however, it is not an opera. A rock opera differs from a conventional rock album, which usually includes songs that are not unified by a common theme or narrative. More recent developments include metal opera, punk rock opera, and rap opera (sometimes also called hip-hopera). In Russia, rock opera may be known as zong-opera (Зонг-опера).
A rock opera tells a coherent story, and may involve songs performed as if sung by separate characters in a drama, as in classical opera. A rock opera may or may not be presented in a staged performance. In recorded form it is a type of concept album, though the latter may simply set a mood or maintain a theme.
History
In an early use of the term, the July 4, 1966, edition of RPM Magazine (published in Toronto) wrote, "Bruce Cockburn and Mr [William] Hawkins are working on a Rock Opera, operating on the premise that to write you need only 'something to say'."
Rock Opera is a 1999 comedy film that follows a fictional Austin, Texas musician's attempt to put together a tour for his struggling and under-appreciated band Pigpoke. The movie debuted at South by Southwest 1999.
Plot
Toe (Jerry Don Clark) wants his rock band Pigpoke to go on tour. He raises funds for the tour by selling marijuana, eventually making leaving town a necessity in order to survive.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Tarja Turunen]
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again? For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind
[Verse 2: Marko Hietala]
Sing once again with me, our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside your mind
[Verse3: Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala]
Those who have seen your face draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear, it's me they hear
Your spirit and my voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my/your mind
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Beware, the Phantom of the Opera
[Verse 4: Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala]
Where all your fantasies, you always knew
That man and mystery lay both in you
And in this labyrinth where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here inside my/your mind
[Outro]
Sing, my Angel of Music
He's there the Phantom of the Opera
Sing for me
Sing, my Angel of Music
Sing for me

Based on the poem "Luceafărul" by the Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu, translated in English by Dimitrie Cuclin, "Lucifer" Rock-Opera is composed and produced by Adrian Tăbăcaru during 2014-2018. Recorded at Taine-Multimedia Studio, mixed & mastered at Fascination Street Studios by Jens Bogren in 2019, the album features top-class musicians and actors from Romania and United Kingdom. Based on a libretto written by Ioana Ieronim, the video is produced by Costin Chioreanu.
THE MYSTERIOUS POET:
One of the most mysterious poets of all time, lived in Romania (1850-1889). His name was MIHAI EMINESCU and it was a real challenge for many generations of students to comprehend to its real dimension his work. His poems of an undoubted beautifulness are followed by deep and extremely sophisticated messages, which can be understood only by initiates. His knowledge about the Universe and its mysteries are so advanced for the time he lived in, that is puzzling even for the most liberal scientists. His poems not only anticipate Einstein’s relativity theory but also talk about lack of time and space, wormholes, energy, as being the information that creates matter, and many other topics difficult to understand even today. Nobody can explain how this poet foresees all this knowledge, and the verses behind it are absolutely marvelous.
THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
The beauty of the poem comes, especially, from the particular combination of some keywords and from the musicality produced by the association of certain rhythmic words. The interpretation is unique and the vibrant amplitude of the text differs from reader to reader. Nevertheless, some connotative meanings of words are shared by all the native speakers of the language. There are words with a special resonance in the Romanian language and their beauty, substantially contribute to the general theme of this poem: love. Therefore, Dimitrie Cuclin preserved the lexical source of meaning and found those words in English that could strike similarities both in musicality and also in the semantic charge they hold.
A very important aspect regarding the translation would be not to misunderstood the poem's meaning and to associate the name “Lucifer” to a biblical figure. One of the greatest translators of Eminescu, Corneliu M. Popescu wrote:
“With regard to the use of "Lucifer" in place of "Luceafărul", it could be objected that Lucifer denotes the devil and not, like "Lucifer", a personification of the prince of light, symbolized by a star. This is incorrect. In English mythology, "Lucifer" holds a place almost identical to that which "Luceafărul" holds in the Romanian one: namely that of the prince of the light, visibly symbolized by a star. To translate "Luceafărul" by the simple designation of "evening-star" would be to deprive it of all personality."
To illustrate the beauty and the complexity of this poem, we introduced an equivalent poem written by the English poet John Donne, “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning”, a metaphysical poem wrote on the occasion of his separation from his wife, Anne. The poem concerns what happens when two lovers have to part and explains the spiritual unification that makes this particular parting essentially unimportant.

A rock opera is a work of rock music that presents a storyline told over multiple parts, songs or sections; however, it is not an opera. A rock opera differs from a conventional rock album, which usually includes songs that are not unified by a common theme or narrative. More recent developments include metal opera, punk rock opera, and rap opera (sometimes also called hip-hopera). In Russia, rock opera may be known as zong-opera (Зонг-опера).
A rock opera tells a coherent story, and may involve songs performed as if sung by separate characters in a drama, as in classical opera. A rock opera may or may not be presented in a staged performance. In recorded form it is a type of concept album, though the latter may simply set a mood or maintain a theme.
History
In an early use of the term, the July 4, 1966, edition of RPM Magazine (published in Toronto) wrote, "Bruce Cockburn and Mr [William] Hawkins are working on a Rock Opera, operating on the premise that to write you need only 'something to say'."
En tu casa dime que hablan de la libertad Ellos crecen con ventajas no puedo soñar No soy de cuna no soy especial Ni de apellido tan excepcional Pero tengo un corazón Y te puedo amar Pero como les explicas a los demás Que al loco al que amas nada dejara Y como esto no es personal Y tus padres no me van a odiar Pero cuando ellos me vean preguntaran Ese muchacho es muy grande Mira como viste ¿De donde son tus padres? ¿Por qué no van al club? ¿Cual es su apellido? ¿Tiene corazón? Su pantalón es viejo ¿Que es rock & roll? No me gusta nada Porque es muy corriente No sé que le viste No es de salón ¿Que dirán sus padres? Mejor ni pensar
