Avantasia (The Metal Opera) is a two-part symphonic metal album written by Tobias Sammet, vocalist and frontman of the power metal group Edguy. The project's title is a mixture of the words avalon and fantasia (fantasy) and describes "a world beyond human imagination" (a quotation from the booklet). The project consists of two CDs containing 23 pieces, which tell a fictional story about a Dominican monk, Gabriel, in the early 17th century.
