Rock operas

A rock opera is a theatrical work that combines rock music with a story, often presented in a format similar to a musical. In a rock opera, the narrative unfolds through songs, with characters expressing their emotions and experiences through music rather than spoken dialogue. This genre emerged in the 1960s and gained popularity through albums like "Tommy" by The Who and "Jesus Christ Superstar." Rock operas often explore complex themes and can address social issues or personal struggles, using the energy and emotion of rock music to enhance the storytelling experience.
