In Which I Listen To A Whole Bunch Of Rock Operas, So You Don’t Have To<\/a><\/h3>\n

Now we\u2019re going to hear about the serious research I did at one point when I was diving in to the world of rock operas. I wanted to be sure I, as they say in academia, \u201cconsulted the literature\u201d before diving in on writing my own. I wanted to understand the conventions, the standards, the tricks and commonalities that all rock operas share.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well ok, but why?<\/p>\n

So that I could blow them all to bits and ignore them when I wrote my own, I suppose! I mean, we\u2019re talking ROCK operas here, not actual operas!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What I mean is, there are certain \u201copera” conventions that have always existed in the classical music world, you know, everyone from Puccini to Mozart to Schoenburg to John Adams to Anthony Davis has done certain things with their operas- they have an overture, they have certain themes and motives that keep coming back through the whole thing, for example. And I think like rock and roll itself, \u201cRock Opera\u201d is freeing, it\u2019s ok to do away with some of those conventions if you want.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
