The Flying Opera is a boxed set containing two DVDs and two CDs by the German power metal band Avantasia, released in March 2011. Avantasia evolved from being a side-project of Edguy vocalist Tobias Sammet to a full-fledging band touring all over the world. The tracks of the set were recorded live during their first world tour in 2008, in support of the album The Scarecrow.
