Wagnerian rock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wagnerian rock is a musical genre created by Jim Steinman due to his love for the music of Richard Wagner and Phil Spector. The genre is a merger — almost a musical hybrid — of twentieth century Rock & Roll and nineteenth century Opera reminiscent of Wagner's and Spector's, not to mention including a major distinctive touch of Steinman's own musical skills. The genre can be argued to be a subform of Rock opera.
