How do you like your rock?  Well for those who can’t get enough of The Who, David Bowie, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Queen, you can’t get closer to the anthemic rock experience than to buy a ticket to see the Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra’s “A Night At The Rock Opera.”

For classic rock fans it’s almost a truism that there’s been nothing produced post 1979 that has truly made a significant contribution to the rock art form - one reason perhaps for the ongoing success of classic rock radio.  You’ll get no argument from the members, creators, and producers of the URO, a Boston based group committed to bringing the best of classic rock to life for those who’ve never had a chance to hear it LIVE in 3-D.

“I like to call it I-Max rock.” Says co-creator, producer, and performer, Sal Clemente. “Its music that is incredibly tough to pull off live, unless you have 14 singers and an absolutely killer band, which we just happen to have.  God love ‘em, there’s no way the corner bar band can pull off Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen never even played the whole song live, they skipped the intro and played a tape during the ‘Galileo’ section.  With the URO you get the whole experience, with every note sung and played live.”

While the URO are in effect a giant ‘cover’ band, you’ll see no Freddie Mercury moustaches or Beatle bowl-cuts, these guys leave that to the tribute band wannabe’s.  For the URO – it’s all about the music and, of course, the epilepsy inducing lights and innards-shaking sound.  “We perform the crown-jewels of classic rock, and we play them the way these songs were meant to be played, with true rock’n’roll feeling, not like some Broadway-ized, wimpified version.”

‘A Night At The Rock Opera’ is indeed more homage than tribute, with some of the songs altered to take advantage of multiple lead singers.  “We call the show ‘A Night At The Rock Opera for a reason,’” continues Clemente, “we picked these songs because they’re huge in scope as well as production, these songs could have been in rock operas.  ‘Concept rock’ gets a bad rap but these songs and these bands have stood the test of time for a reason - because they’re amazing.”

“A man actually came up to me in tears, nearly speechless because as a teenager he’d bought Abbey Road and the Beatles broke up the next day.” said drummer, creator, producer Alan Ware, “He thought he’d never get to hear songs from that record performed live, it was actually a dream come true for him and that’s a great feeling, to know that you’ve really connected with the audience in that way.”

“A Night At The Rock Opera” is more party than opera, with music courtesy of an insanely versatile band, capable of bringing off even the most intricate rock pieces with effortless ease, lighthearted humor and an audacious display of vocal prowess.
And the URO is perfect for families, with many bringing their kids to introduce them to the music they grew up on – the URO gives these parents instant “rock cred,” and the kids love them for it.  

Spotlights include the aforementioned rarely performed crown jewels of classic rock: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Space Oddity," “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End,” “Black Dog,” “Immigrant Song,” and many more.

With this kind of rock pedigree, diehard fans of the URO have had their minds blown and eagerly returned for more.
