About this album

Hollywood Records (2011) Released: 17 May 2011 18 tracks (62:08)
A Night at the Opera is a 1975 album by English rock band Queen. It was produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, and reportedly was, at the time of its release, the most expensive album ever made. It was originally released by EMI in the UK where it topped the charts for nine weeks, a record at the time, and Elektra Records in the United States where the album peaked at #4 and has been certified Triple Platinum (three million copies sold).

The album takes its name from the Marx Brothers film of the same name, which the band watched one night at the studio complex when recording. The 1976 follow-up album, A Day at the Races, was also named after a Marx brothers film.

At the time the most expensive album ever recorded, Brian May has asserted in subsequent years that the band would have disbanded had it not been successful. Upon release, A Night at the Opera was a commercial and critical success, debuting at #1 in the UK charts and remaining there for nine weeks. In the US, it debuted at #4, the band’s strongest showing at that time. Reviews were generally positive. Rolling Stone wrote: “What sets them apart is their selection of unlikely effects: acoustic piano, harp, acapella vocals, no synthesizers. Coupled with good songs. Queen’s obviously the strongest contender in its field.

    @AledMCR Stop making fun of Hot Space :-) It has a few very decent tracks on it :-) It's better than Flash Gordon anyway ;-)

    They don't have a BEST album, every fan has a favourite album. All of their albums have some amazing tracks on. This one just happens to have a large amount of amazing tracks, so there is no 'real' or 'not real' fans in my opinion, just fans!

    It's certainly my favorite and always will be.

    @zepelinho How can you say that? This can sometimes be my favourite Queen album, depending on my mood, I tend to prefer the first three and Races more. There are real Queen fans that think Hot Space is the best Queen album.

    One of my favourite albums of all time! It has absolutely everything, there isn't a dull moment. The songs flow seamlessly into each other, yet work amazingly alone as well. Going from a song like Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...) into Lazing on a Sunday afternoon is the perfect example. Wow, should that work? Queen makes it work. I could go on about how good this album is!
