Encyclopedia > Wagnerian rock

Wagnerian Rock is a musical genre that was created by Jim Steinman due to his love for the music of Richard Wagner and Phil Spector. The genre is a perfect merger (almost a musical hybrid) of twentieth century Rock & Roll and nineteenth century Opera reminiscent that of Wagner's and Spector's, and not to say the least, with a major distinctive touch of Steinman's own musical skills.

A rock opera or rock musical is a musical production in the form of an opera or a musical in a modern rock and roll style rather than more traditional forms.
It differs from conventional rock and roll albums, which often feature songs that are unrelated in plot or story with each other, but overlaps considerably with concept albums and song cycles.
