Those of you who listen to metal operas may have heard about Arjen Anthony Lucassen’s stage production of AYREON’s 2004 album, “The Human Equation.” As much as the world would have loved to have The Theater Equation on tour, it was only performed a handful of times over the span of 3 days at the Nieuwe Luxor Theater in Rotterdam, NL. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Musicalypse hopped on a plane to catch the early performance on September 19th, 2015. Check out the full gallery here.
