Developed over eight years, Rocktopia is inspired by the idea that if Beethoven or Mozart were alive today, they would be modern-day rock stars.

Rocktopia is a musical revolution that celebrates the fusion of the best rock songs of the past century with some of the greatest classical music ever written. Rocktopia showcases the works of musical innovators including Mozart, Queen, Beethoven, Journey, Handel, U2, Tchaikovsky, Pink Floyd, Heart, Rachmaninoff, Foreigner, Copland, The Who and more.
I am always wary of a rock concert set in a theater. The usual decibel level and mega lighting effects won't fit the house. Rocktopia has some great moments, but it suffers from indecision - rock show or night at the theater? Ersatz opera meets ersatz rock, resulting in a self-conscious show that works too hard and often gets in its own way.
