Prepare to be immersed in a ritual bath of blood, fire, and magic, fixated within the blistering, visceral spectacle of pain that only the auditory screams of extreme metal can accompany. Get lost in a demonic, pulsating labyrinth of the grotesque: bodies writhing and melting, rising and plummeting in an electrifying death-drop of a performance destined to take your breath away even as it threatens to never return it.
Ceremony of the Faceless is an original movement-focused scare attraction presented by the Baltimore Rock Opera Society. This immersive experience blends excitement, terror, and pageantry, creating an intense 35-minute spectacle of dance, gore, and extreme metal music. This performance is not for the faint. 18+ mature adults only.

FAQs
Where is the venue? 1915 Maryland St. It is part of the North Avenue Market building. It's our first time at this awesome location in Station North! The facade kinda looks like the Alamo, and we'll have some clear indicators near the door.
Where do I park? There is street parking around the venue, but your best bet may be one of the nearby parking garages or lots. The closest lot is located at 1915 Howard St, operated by Airgarage. Public transportation is also an option as the venue is right on the Maryland Avenue bike lane, near multiple major bus stops, and about three blocks from Penn Station.
When should I arrive? The lobby will be open 45 minutes before showtime, to enjoy cocktails and mingle with your fellow initiates. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to show time.
What if I'm late? Unfortunately, due to the immersive nature of the show, we cannot accomodate late arrivals. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to show time!
Can I transfer my ticket to a different night? You bet! Just email boxoffice@baltimorerockopera.org and if your ticket type is still for sale on that night we will transfer you post-haste!
