A Night at the Opera is a 1975 album by English rock band Queen. It was produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen.

Recorded in 1975, the album reportedly was, at the time of its release, the most expensive album ever made.

Originally released by EMI in the UK and Elektra Records in the United States (also re-released in the US on Hollywood Records on September 3, 1991 with two bonus remixes), the album peaked at #4 and has been certified Triple Platinum (three million copies sold) in the US.!!!!!!

On 21 November 2005 it was again re-released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album and its first single, "Bohemian Rhapsody". This release is accompanied by a DVD with the same track listing featuring the original videos, old and new concert footage (including "'39" from the Queen + Paul Rodgers tour and Brian May on the roof of Buckingham Palace playing "God Save the Queen") and audio commentary by all four bandmembers. On the aforementioned commentary (and on In the Studio with Redbeard, which devoted an episode to A Night at the Opera) May stated that had the album not been a success, Queen certainly would have disbanded.!!!!!

The album, along with the follow-up album A Day at the Races in 1976, takes its name from the Marx Brothers film of the same name!!!!!!

In addition to all of this, the album is famous for not using any synthesizers throughout the recording of the whole album.
