I have this idea involving a hideously deformed rooster - the working title is "Bantam of the Opera"...

Gee that was bad - love the opera concept though, I'm up for it, if anyone can stand my gags

Whatever framework we decide on, I think it would be good if the underlying story in some way could reflect the life on this site!

How about:  man seeks to stave off mid-life crisis by escaping into alternative online rock universe, to the point where he has difficulty distinguishing between fantasy and reality.... er, hang on, that's sounding like a documentary...

This has certainly taken off!  There are some warped minds me thinks :-)
So a man falls asleep on a beach. We need a back story for him? Maybe he's a high flying music exec who's become dissatisfied?
Decides he's had enough

Reggie Perrin, the opera!

Ok... a record exec is having a midlife crisis and his business is hurting because of new media, he falls asleep at the beach and goes into a dream sequence transporting him back to the inception of recording technology, where he witnesses the recording of some old opera (Enrico Caruso) and becomes inspired again, wakes up and saves rock 'n roll by creating his own independent band of musicians from around the world.

I dug into the archives (a post from 8/31/08) to seek out an over-the-top beginning.

Original post: This needs some history.  A keyboardist friend and I constantly joke about creating a progressive rock epic.  We debate about all the elements it needs (atmospheric beginning, acoustic interlude, mellotron choirs, funky time signatures, several sections delineated with roman numerals, etc.) but we never have actually written anything for it.  I was playing with Sony Acid the other day and combined about eight sound files into this...the atmospheric beginning to the prog epic "The Vast Pretense." 

Won't hurt my feelings if it doesn't get used.  I just figure if you're going to do a rock opera, you might as well go prog.
