Jethro Tull, the Rock Opera in Istanbul

ISTANBUL

‘The Rock Opera’ event will be held on Dec 5 at CRR Concert Hall in Istanbul.

British musician Ian Anderson, best known as the lead vocalist of legendary rock band Jethro Tull, will take the stage at Istanbul’s CRR concert hall on Dec. 5.    
  
Titled “The Rock Opera,” the concert series tells the story of the life of the original Jethro Tull (an English agricultural pioneer whom the band is named after), reimagined as if in the near future and illustrated with Anderson’s best-known songs from the bands repertoire, according to the band’s official website.

“The performance is in a quasi-operatic structure with virtual guests on video and some additional newly-written songs to round off the elements of the story,” the website said.
