The fifth album by Porcelain Frogs, 'Elevations: A Rock Opera'
is just that, a rock opera, and so much more. It represents
a long time of percolating and considering what would make a
cohesive rock opera for the end of the millenium.
It is about
an artist who, through divine inspiration, is able to paint
visions of a Utopian World where everyone is in harmony. He
gathers about him his followers, his apprentices, and they begin
to spread the Work. A jealous, hateful art critic who controls
the opinions of the masses through mind altering substances and
brainwashing, plans to sabotage the artist's exhibitions. Little
does he know that his daughter and the artist have fallen in love.
When he finds out about their affair, he interferes with it by
enlisting the help of the artist's lead apprentice, a very jealous
and angry young man. Together, they destroy the exhibition and the
love affair. The critic's daughter, her heart broken, kills herself
at the same time that the despondent artist is about to
allow himself to be brainwashed to forget the pain in his heart.
As she dies, his resove for his Divine Vision is re-solidified and he
confronts the critic head on. But it is all for naught, the critic
has already planted the seeds of conformity and mindlessness in the
masses, and nothing can reverse it.
