True Symphonic Rockestra is an opera-oriented project founded by Dirk Ulrich featuring Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie accompanied by opera tenors Vladimir Grishko and Thomas Dewald.
The idea, dating back to 2000, was to get three world class singers to perform rock versions of the “best of” repertoire of the original Three Tenors (Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Jose Carreras) combining the operatic elements with metal elements. Finally, in 2006, this idea became a reality.
From the album Hatebreeder:The opening riff for "Red Light in My Eyes, Part 2" is from Mozart's Symphony No. 25 and later there's a riff from his Requiem K.626: 'Confutatis'; the intro to Red Light in My Eyes, Part I is from Bach's Two Part Invention No. 13.
The album also includes some Mozart music: Piano Concerto N�20 K.466 appears in "Black Widow" and the "Queen Of The Night Aria" from "The Magic Flute" appears in "Hatebreeder".
