Rock Opera

ABOUT

Rock Opera is a St. Louis band that provides high quality live entertainment for all kinds of audiences and events. The band delivers a captivating story of rock and roll music backed with elaborate vocal harmonies and instrumentation that will make you sing and dance all night long! Rock Opera performs a comprehensive catalog of songs that highlight the greatest eras of rock music, spanning from the countercultural anthems of the late sixties to the driving rhythms and grooves of the seventies, and beyond! The members of Rock Opera have an established presence in St. Louis, MO and have been entertaining crowds together at many types of venues all over the area for 5+ years. Our format has been to cover music from the 60s and 70s that many other bands do not play. Our set list is built around having 5 vocalists and we focus on songs that have big vocal harmonies with up to 5 vocal parts. We put the utmost importance on reproducing songs as accurately as possible and often spend hours dissecting vocal harmonies to get them right and tailor lead vocal assignments to most accurately match the original artist. We have our own dedicated sound man that rehearses with us and we also use a fully digital FOH setup with in-ear monitors to produce the cleanest sound possible.

We are not a late night bar/club band or a wedding band. Examples of the types of gigs we play are: Faust Park, Innsbrook, Grants Farm, Defiance and Augusta wineries, the Casa Loma Ballroom, the Granada Theater, private fundraiser events, etc.
