Customer Reviews

Queen Masterpiece in 5.1 surround.
This album - originally from 1975 - has been remastered in 96/24Khz 5.1 surround by the original engineers ( Ray Thomas Baker & Brian May ), so obviously they know the music really well. The disc contains DTS 5.1; DVD Audio MLP advanced resolution 5.1; and standard stereo tracks. On screen lyrics are available - either seperately, or as the song is playing - useful if one is a karaoke fan... Also there is a small picture gallery of Queen from the mid 70's. The booklet also includes the song lyrics and a few photos, too. The 'piece de resistance' is the inclusion of the "Bohemian Rhaspody" video in DTS 5.1, which looks pretty good for it's age and sounds wonderful...!!!
The surround makes one feel as if one is sitting in the middle of the actual recording with the central position being taken by Freddie's superlative voice.
I've heard that the members of Queen, their managers, and record company were so impressed by this surround sound mix that all of the Queen albums have been given the go-ahead for surround mixes... Wonderful news!!!!

A Crowned Jewel, Indeed
If I am not mistaken, Paul McCartney once remarked that lavish is vulgar, and if he did, I am sure that he made a few exceptions, one of which would be this 1975 classic with its lavish production and all.

On audio DVD, A Night at the Opera sounds so clear, so great. It's as if you can hear the chart hits You're My Best Friend and Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time, all over again. Though the rest of the tracks are not remotely as familiar to the casual fan, such as myself, they are nicely arranged and mixed in to help compile what is regarded as Queen's greatest release.

Included are song lyrics displayed on the television screen as the tracks proceed from one to the next and the video of Bohemian Rhapsody, where the sound quality is not quite so stellar as the strictly DVD audio-only version.

A musical triumph, A Night at the Opera on audio DVD rekindles and revisits the passion and the grandeur of great musicians and vocalists who would do what it took to get to the top of their game, even if it meant occasionally going over the top.

No Dolby Digital -Only DTS -Great Disc Great SOund
They say it plays on all dvd players...or almost all.
Typicaly, all dvd-audio discs play on both DTS or Dobly Digital, and at least Dolby Digital. This one only plays on DTS and PCM stereo(which I cannot get the PCM stereo to work)
All receivers have both DD and DTS today, but the one I have does not have dts, so it looks like I am going to have to return the disk. I am just warning all of you because it does not make anyone aware of this on the front.
1/17/2004 -I got a dvd player that decodes the DTS...This disc sounds awesome. It is one of the few that uses the vocals in the surround speakers. Way Cool! I will change my star rating from 1 to 5, but I will keep the advisor atop so that if you donot have dts, don't get this disc.
