I consider Rammstein an operatic act. They use coreography, song, and stage effects to tell stories, and it's always highly dramatic and allegorical, while also being curiously basic and explicit. It's JUST like opera, so colour me unsurprised that German opera singer, René Pape, is intrigued by them. Pape performed part of the Torsten Rasch song cycle (Mein Herz brennt - 2004) based on Rammstein's work (melodies and lyrics). I'm not a fan of the work myself, but it's awesome that it was conceived, composed, and recorded.
