Queen - A Night at the Opera - 1975
The album name is derived from the film A Night at the Opera, a classic comedy of the Marx Brothers (1935). When the band had a free evening of the recording in the studio, they were watching this film.
During the recording of the opera part in Bohemian Rhapsody, they decided the title of the Marx Brohters' film was very appropriate for their new album.
The album cover was given a simple but lavish treatment, with Freddie's original crest design updated and coloured and placed centre of the album cover. The LP gatefold complimented the style, with the lyrics printed over two sides of the inside cover, and for the first time the inner sleeve was in colour and featured live photos from their last tour.
