Streets: A Rock Opera (1991) stands as Savatage’s most ambitious and emotionally charged concept album — a dramatic, theatrical narrative crafted by Jon Oliva and Paul O’Neill, telling the story of DT Jesus and his fall from fame into despair and redemption.
 
The 2021 EarMusic Classics reissue presents the album on 2×LP black vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves. This edition is part of the official Savatage reissue campaign and faithfully preserves the original 1991 tracklist and artwork.
 
The sound is dynamic, warm, and expansive — perfect for the album’s blend of heavy metal, orchestral drama, and Broadway‑influenced storytelling.
