The Baltimore Rock Opera Society‘s production of The Electric Pharaoh. All photos by Brooke Hall.
Over the years, the Baltimore Rock Opera Society productions have become my one of my favorite things in the world to shoot. The experience at the last dress rehearsal before opening night is intoxicating; the BROS famous frantic energy is almost addictive. The Double Feature in 2011, Amphion and The Terrible Secret of Lunastus, was when I finally understood the true meaning of the word ‘face-melting.’ I’ve shot every dress rehearsal since. I’d like to take a moment to thank the BROS for building something worth documenting. You never fail to excite my eye and give me good reason to pull out the ol’ digital SLR. -Brooke
From the BROS:
The Electric Pharaoh is a rock musical set in a place which was once ancient Egypt, but is now a futuristic city where electricity is currency and a powerful Pharaoh keeps the people divided. A strange boy from the lower crust of society uncovers the secrets of the past with his friends and sets off a revolution.
The Electric Pharaoh, written by Chuck Green and directed by Mason Ross, was the 6th original rock opera produced by the Baltimore Rock Opera Society. We asked the BROS to provide us with the list of every single person involved in the show to get some idea of how many people worked on this production. As always – they didn’t disappoint.
