A live band featuring synths, electric guitars, fast, precise drumming, and an aerophone brings the show to life. The libretto includes more than a dozen original musical numbers written by six composers.

This weekend you can join in on the fun and see their latest original rock opera, Glitterus: Dragon Rising, at the Zion Lutheran Church.Ī suite of passionate writers, musicians, stagehands, designers, and performers came together to produce Glitterus: Dragon Rising. In BROS shows, the audience’s vocal commentary enlivens the upbeat and uncanny production-in the vein of a midnight Rocky Horror Show. The exception can be found in productions of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society, also known as BROS. These days, though, live audiences rarely have an opportunity to hoot and boo during theatrical performances. Audiences have been doing this for thousands of years, toward gladiators in the Colosseum, or everyday human dramas on the Jerry Springer show, or certain movies involving shower curtains and ski masks. Yelling at gruesome things can be daringly delightful. There is a collective urge to scream right now.
