Vinyl cover.

A Night At the Opera is a hard rock album, and the fourth studio album by Queen. It was produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, and published by EMI and Electra on 1975-11-21 on vinyl and cassette. The album uses a variety of musical genres including rock, progressive rock, hard rock, music hall, twee pop, Dixieland, and classical.

The graphic design of the album features the Queen coat of arms originally designed by Freddie Mercury which includes the astrological symbols of each band member and the layout carries on the black and white tradition seen during the release of Queen II. This album uses a stark white motif, which would be later contrasted with a black motif for the follow-up album, A Day At the Races.
