Pete Townshend wrote rock operas a long time ago; Tommy and Quadrophenia. Just no fat ladies singing.

Nothing new to me.

Oh. I misread the headline. I thought it said OPRAH was getting an infustion of rock.

I thought she was passing a kidney stone or something.

Geez, what a dolt.

Freddie Mercury + Montserrat Caballe “Barcelona” (1988), fusion of rock and opera styles.

From a singing perspective (technique) rock and opera have much in common. A well trained rock singer uses lots of classical technique to enhance and protect their voice while sounding AWESOME!!
