Theatre of Fate is the second album by Brazilian heavy metal band Viper. It was re-released in 1997 by Paradoxx Music in a 2-in-1 edition with the Soldiers of Sunrise album.

In a 2013 interview, when commenting on the production and recording of the album, vocalist Andre Matos said:[2]

[...] it was a huge jump from one level to another level. We hired an English producer called Roy Rowland who came to Brazil. The guy was really good, and we were so lucky that we had probably one of the best studios in town available for us. It was an old studio back from the 50s or the 60s, you know, from the cinema times. They used to record full orchestras there, and they had wonderful equipment, like live board and tape recorders and all kinds of microphones and all kinds of rooms and acoustic piano and orchestra available, and everything. So it was a completely different reality [...]

"Moonlight" is based on Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".
