OPUS AVANTRA comprises three parts: OPUS (opera – work) AVAN (avanguardia – vanguard) and TRA (tradition – tradition). Their style blends elements of progressive, classical, opera, jazz and just plain general weirdness, using keyboards, bass, drums, violins, cellos, clarinet, flutes and other instruments. They were highly influential in the progressive avant-garde scene of the time.

Neo-progressive rock is the most appropriate term to describe the style in which the band plays, as their music mixes inspirations from Marillion, Spock’s Beard, Queen, Pink Floyd, Pallas, Shadow Gallery, Sieges Even, Yes and Rush.
