True Symphonic Rockestra was a musical collaboration project combining rock music and opera. The concept was to have three world-class singers to perform songs from the Three Tenors repertoire, combining operatic and heavy metal elements.[1]
The project was founded in 2000 by artistic director and producer Dirk Ulrich, Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie, and tenors Volodymyr Hryshko and Thomas Dewald.[2][1]
Their album, Concerto in True Minor, was recorded in 2006.[3] It was released on March 28, 2008.[2] The release was a cooperation between Brainrox Records (Germany) & Marinsound Records (Russia), with Sony BMG taking care of distribution in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It contains 21 songs.
