Savatage – Streets: A Rock Opera
Format: LP
Genre: Metal
Released:
Streets: A Rock Opera (often simply shortened to Streets) is the sixth studio album by the American heavy metal band Savatage and is a rock opera dealing with the rise and fall of the fictional musician DT Jesus. It was originally released in October 1991. The album took almost a year to record, with pre-production beginning in October 1990. It was also Jon Oliva’s last album as lead vocalist until 1995’s Dead Winter Dead and 1997’s The Wake of Magellan, where he shared lead vocal duties with Zak Stevens (singing lead on two songs from each album). The story features a fallen rock star called DT Jesus (DT is short for either De-Tox or Down-Town), who has hit hard times. He is a drug dealer as the story begins and just another lowlife on the streets of New York City. Streets recounts the story behind DT Jesus and his rise to fame again and his second fall.
The concept of Streets is based on a book written by Paul O’Neill in 1979 as a Broadway play and stored in a drawer at O’Neill’s home until guitarist Criss Oliva found it and suggested it be Savatage’s next album.
