A Night at the Opera is the fourth studio album by British rock group Queen, released in November 1975.

The album takes its name from the Marx Brothers film "A Night at the Opera". It was originally released by EMI in the UK where it topped the charts for four non-consecutive weeks, and Elektra Records in the US where it peaked at #4.

This grouping gathers together all versions of the "A Night At The Opera" album, originally released in 1975 on vinyl and tape, as well as subsequent repressings and bootleg versions.

Officially, the entire back catalogue was re-issued for the first time on CD in 1986, and again on CD/tape in remastered form in 1991 for the US market (via Hollywood Records and adding a few non-album tracks or remixes not included on the original versions).

Parlophone also re-issued the remastered versions in 1993/1994, and subsequently several additional re-remastered versions (some in glorious 5.1 DTS) have appeared.

In 2009 the entire back catalogue of studio albums (newly remastered) was re-released again, this time on heavyweight vinyl while "40th Anniversary" CD versions appeared in 2011 in standard and "Deluxe Edition" (the latter including a 2nd disc with sparse bonus tracks) via Island Records.
