Tobias Sammet's Avantasia is a PowerMetal "band" from Fulda, Germany, and the solo side-project of Music/{{Edguy}}'s Tobias Sammet started in 1999. All of Avantasia's albums are RockOperas and are currently split between three different stories: ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Metal Opera]]'', ''The Wicked Trilogy'' and ''The Mystery of Time''. Avantasia was named as a portmanteau of Avalon and Fantasia for the world that ''The Metal Opera'' takes place in. With some of the guests (including Music/AliceCooper and [[Music/{{Scorpions}} Klaus Meine]]) that appear on the albums, one might come to the conclusion that the project is more or less Sammet's way of showing off his connections if it weren't for the fact that the music is so [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome damn cool.]] Speaking of guest members, if you can think of a power metal vocalist, there's a very good chance that they've contributed to Avantasia.

** Another example is from "The Wicked Symphony". Mephistopheles says "If you deny what you desire/This will have been just a mystery play." The line should probably say "morality play" because a mystery play is just acting out a scene from the Bible while a morality play features the Devil trying to convince an individual to turn to the DarkSide but always failing. Mephistopheles is trying to get the story to work in his favor for once. [[spoiler: Of course by the end of the ''Wicked Trilogy'' the Scarecrow ''has'' rejected Mephistopheles, making the story a kind of really convoluted mystery/morality play anyway.]]
