"The Queen Show Goes On" was raised with hands and souls by a demiurge thirsty for such a high stakes performance. If Plato called the demiurge the creator of the universe, here all involved in the production created a universe of true mystery. The performance was experienced by both creators and audience as a sacrament of initiates into the cult of Freddie Mercury. In the emerging longevity of the magic of this god who left generations a musical and performing treasure, there is no forgetting or sunsetting his uniqueness as a composer and performer. That is why the opera house was filled with devotees of the cult of the band from different generations.
