The metal opera has a name, and that is none other than Avantasia. Fresh headliners of our 2022 edition, they return to the top of Rock Imperium for the upcoming summer, with an even bigger production and a renewed repertoire. The project that Tobias Sammet created with ‘The Metal Opera, Pt I’ has grown so much, both musically and theatrically, that it has become essential for lovers of power metal and heavy sounds in general. Over the years, Avantasia has gathered an impressive list of renowned guest musicians, including Michael Kiske, Geoff Tate, and Sharon den Adel, creating a unique musical experience that is reflected in every live performance of the band. Exploring themes of fantasy, mythology, and epic narratives, albums like ‘The Scarecrow’ or the more recent ‘A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society’ have taken Tobias Sammet’s project to the next level, and they will bring their most theatrical production to Rock Imperium 2024.
