Rhapsody Of Fire in Manchester

Rhapsody of Fire is an Italian symphonic power metal band formed in Trieste in 1993 by guitarist Luca Turilli and keyboardist Alex Staropoli. Originally known as Rhapsody, the group adopted its present name in 2006. Its fantasy narratives and orchestral metal arrangements are established on albums including Legendary Tales, Symphony of Enchanted Lands and Dawn of Victory, and on songs such as “Emerald Sword” and “The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream.” At Earthshaker Fest in 2005, actor Christopher Lee joined the band to perform “The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream.” Rhapsody of Fire later played Wacken Open Air in 2011, and recordings from its 2012 European dates were released as Live – From Chaos to Eternity.
