NIKOLO KOTZEV'S NOSTRADAMUS - THE ROCK OPERA (2CD) (reissue)

Nikolo Kotzev's Nostradamus is a rock opera in three acts written by the virtuoso musician Nikolo Kotzev about the life and times of Nostradamus. It was released as a 2-CD set in 2001. Several members of Kotzev's main project, Brazen Abbot, also appear on this album.

Nostradamus sees big names of the metal/rock scene attributed to specific roles in order to narrate the story of the famous French prophet. Some of the most iconic singers of the Hard'n'Heavy scene are featured, including Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Goran Edman, Jorn Lande, Doogie Wait, Alannah Myles and more. Sustained throughout by a 35-piece orchestra, each song is more fantastic than the next. As proof, the sublime Pieces Of A Dream, which opens the album immediately after a beautiful intro, starts the journey through this monumental opus.
