A Night at the Opera Tour was a concert tour in 1975 by Queen to promote their album A Night at the Opera. It spanned from 1975 to 1976 and covered Europe, the United States, Japan, and Australia. This was the first appearance of "Bohemian Rhapsody", which went on to be played at every Queen gig from the A Night At The Opera Tour to The Magic Tour. They also released a DVD A Night at the Odeon from the Christmas Eve concert at the Hammersmith Odeon on this tour.
