Speaking in Japan with Asahi Shimbun, Brian May highlighted what fans can expect from the eclectic Rhapsody tour show that is heading all over the world this year.
The 72-year-old said: “There’s a lot of highlights for us. This new production it very new and very different.”
“It’s very dramatic, very picturesque as we always have been I suppose.
“But it takes it to a new place and we now have a stage rig; a production that is able to change its form.”
May added: “So we transform from something like a night at the opera feeling to a feeling of the works with all the gears and machines and stuff.
“And then to a kind of…we call it the pizza oven; the period of Queen where we had lights everywhere.
“It’s very retro in that way. We have so many hits, it’s all about the music.
“And every time we hit another theme that was a hit around the world and particularly in Japan, then you have another point of contact; another point of making magic happen.”
