Marco Garau’S Magic Opera

Description:

“The Final Flight,” the new album from MAGICOPERAa major space opera project led by Marco Garau, former composer and keyboardist for D’Addario. Highly acclaimed in the Italian melodic/symphonic power metal scene, the project has rushed this release ahead of its Japan tour this summer (appearing at EVOKENFEST 2026). This album serves as the concluding chapter and culmination of the fantasy trilogy, following 2022s *The Golden Pentacle* and 2024s *Battle of Ice*. A fusion of majestic orchestration reminiscent of film scores, beautiful melodies filled with quintessentially Italian melancholy, and powerful, high-speed power and speed metal creates an immersive experience akin to watching a fantasy film. Garau handled all composition, keyboards, and orchestral arrangements, with Anton Darusso (vocals), Luca Sellitto (lead guitar), Matteo Baschiera (rhythm guitar), Ollie Bernstein (bass)
