Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has announced additional European shows on his 'A Night of Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness Featuring Billy Corgan' tour.
Premiered with a critically acclaimed seven date run last year at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the orchestral and operatic rendering of Smashing Pumpkins’ iconic 1995 album is described in a press statement as paying "homage to the era-defining album of the same name, whilst also expanding the definition and intention of opera."
"The success of translating Mellon Collie into operatic and classical form has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life," Corgan has said. “Where on each of the seven sold out nights in Chicago we’d finish within the raucous wave of a standing ovation. So to now take it on the road, and to Europe, too says this magical dream doesn’t have to end."
