pyrotechnically
In blazing bursts
Pyrotechnically means in a manner involving fireworks or explosive displays.
The word extends to any dazzling, explosive performance: The guitarist played pyrotechnically, fingers blazing across the fretboard.
A pyrotechnically lit scene uses fiery visual effects.
The term suggests spectacle—flashy, attention-grabbing, possibly more impressive than substantive.
