Customer Reviews of A Night at the Opera

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!!!!

DVD-Audio At It's Best
Although I don't have a DVD-Audio player,this disc sounds awesome in DTS 5.1.One of the great things about this disc is that unlike some other DVD-Audio titles,this disc has no unwanted breaks between songs.The sound quality is fantastic.The menu is easy to navigate and it includes the original pre-Wayne's World Bohemian Rhapsody video.If the DVD audio quality is better then DTS 5.1,then I look forward to hearing it in it's true Hi-Def version.I hope this is just the start of what's to come for this format because there are thousands of other titles that could benefit from this format.

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.
