'In The Studio' Spends 'A Night At The Opera' With QUEEN

November 16, 2010

North American syndicated rock radio show "In The Studio" celebrates the 35th anniversary of QUEEN's "A Night At The Opera". Show host and producer Redbeard speaks to guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor about the crowning achievements of what, at the time, was a "make-or-break" record for QUEEN. As Roger Taylor remarks, "It's easier to gamble when you have nothing to lose." Also, hear what influence the Marx Brothers had on this historic album.

QUEEN and Universal Music Group recently signed an exclusive, long-term agreement on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the groundbreaking group's formation, in 1971. During the course of the anniversary year, Island will remaster and repackage, with additional content, each of QUEEN's 15 studio albums. The first five will be made available in March: "Queen", "Queen II", "Sheer Heart Attack", "A Night At The Opera" and "A Day At The Races".

Two decades after the death of their phenomenal and flamboyant singer, Freddie Mercury remains an icon beyond measure. The 40th anniversary celebrations begin with a major QUEEN exhibition in London, "Stormtroopers in Stilettos", opening in late February. This will be followed by a BBC TV documentary and the production of a major Hollywood film about the band, starring Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury. Acclaimed script writer Peter Morgan ("The Queen", "Frost/Nixon") is working on the project, which is being produced by GK Films, Robert de Niro's Tribeca Productions and Queen Films.
