Study the classic rock operas like “JC Superstar” and “Tommy”, combine those with the passion of “Rent” and “Hamilton” and throw in a little Monty Python, and you have “Luther The Rock Opera.” This collision of history, musical styles and a pounding pathos make up the story of a stormy monk who spoke truth to power, escaped the stake and birthed the Modern Era. The music written by two-time John Lennon award winners “Lost and Found” (George Baum and Michael Bridges), and 7-time playwright Dr. Rich Melheim. It follows the story of Martin Luther from the internationally acclaimed graphic novel, Luther. It is interpreted by an ensemble cast, including folk rock singer Peder Eide, the "Pavarotti of Gospel” Robert Robinson, the comedic John Hermanson, and the harsh bluesy voices of Rachel Kurtz, Tonia Hughes and Sara Renner. Three-fourths of the songs fit in the rock and soft rock genres, with a delightful and surprising mix of styles from rap to Gregorian chant to honky tonk and a hilarious new Teutonic Rhapsody.
