A list of my favorite Opera Symphonic Metal/Rock bands. Because of the nature of this list and the fact that "Opera Rock", as some call it, is a subgenre of Symphonic Metal. This list may also change with time and some of the bands might move up and down the list as new groups are added. Think of this list as my own band chart that changes periodically. Thanks for reading.

These days I was wondering why there was bands like Clair Cassis or Johann Wolfgang Pozoj which are named after someone who isn't even a player on the band, so I had the brilliant idea to create a pointless list.
Here you will find bm bands named after real or fictional people. I set aside names of gods, demons and mystical creatures, only people allowed. Also didn't count bands like "Lord Something", reason is because if I took those things in consideration I'd list every damn bm band in the world.
I did a very quick google search and the results are shown below the bands names, but honestly I don't know whether they're the real reason why the bands have that names.
If i'm missing some, please give a shout.
