Hereafter Party Performance Videos

Once again. BRO was privileged to have Kristina Kehrer and her awsome camera crew, Lily Bouvier and Johnny Berosh, capture our performance. While nothing can match the energy of seeing a live band, we think these get pretty close! Enjoy some excerpts from a night so jam-packed we ran out of time.
Thanks again to all the performers and the amazing audience who helped us raise $3,500 for The Children’s Room.

Enjoy!

Boston Rock Opera on the YouTube

Gathering the TribeMiss our shows? Wish you could see one of them again?

While nothing can beat the live experience, we’ve recently shared some videos of shows we’ve done through the years and will add other productions as we get them digitized. Visit our YouTube channel to see links to videos of 1994’s Preservation and Jesus Christ Superstar, as well as a link to the October 2016 production of HAIR, and the documentary; Gathering the Tribe. 

Gathering the Tribe: A documentary produced by Kristina Kehrer (who also edited the video of our live production), followed Boston Rock Opera and G-Rock Productions as they created their 2016 production of HAIR. “A timely piece considering the election of Trump.”

Lazarus featuring Ron Murphy on lead vocal

On August 6 and 7, 2016 Boston Rock Opera reunited after a long hiatus to present a three hour tribute to David Bowie; Stardust to Blackstar. Under the arrangement and musical direction of Russ Gershon, we performed Blackstar in its entirety.
