Avantasia A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society

The AVANTASIA circus once again makes a guest appearance in town and on "A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society" invites you to an enchanted journey into a wondrous in-between world, illuminated by moonlight and gaslight, populated by strange creatures and populated with a musical soiree of fantastic power. With his ninth album, Tobias Sammet creates his own monument of the epic force of Dio, the theatrical grandeur of Queens and the ghostly melodicism of a monk's choir in dark monastery halls.

It is a captivating, deeply magical universe that Tobias Sammet has built around his metal hippodrome AVANTASIA over the past two decades. Since his debut "The Metal Opera" (2001), the eternal Peter Pan of the German heavy metal world has romped between metal, classical and rock by every trick in the book, beguiling the biggest festivals around the world with his otherworldly traveling circus and working with the greatest voices in the metal world.
