Stage Lighting
The lighting designer Terry Miranda specified over 120 Robe fixtures for the performance to help realise his eye- catching design.
The lighting and technical production
were supplied by Dubai based Lighthouse Productions. Lighthouse has a large selection of Robe fixtures for rental and along with Terry Miranda who is a founder/director have worked on a diverse selection of projects.
The design was based on a futuristic theme with video projected on to a large backdrop to create a dramatic scene. The trussing lines mirrored the wedged shaped stage arranged in triplicate decreasing perspective, with each run of trussing a slightly different size all adding to the depth and perceived height of the performance space. All the moving lights in the rig were Robe. Lighthouse Productions supplied 12 Robin MMX WashBeams, 24 Robin 300 Beam classics, six ColorSpot 2500E ATs, 12 ColorSpot 1200E ATs, 28 ColorWash 575E ATs, 18 ColorSpot 575E ATs and 24 ColorMix 240s.
The MMX Wash Beams are a favorite of
Miranda’s and Robe’s Middle East Office had the delivered in super quick time for him to use at this show. They were used as beams and washes as well as shuttered down tightly for specific scenes. They were also used for spotting and gobo work. “It’s the first time I have been able to achieve so much from one fixture,” Miranda declares. “They are hugely versatile and I’m delighted with them,” he enthused, adding “They are an absolute dream to work with – so multi-functional and so light in weight!” The operetta was televised live on Dubai TV and Sama Dubai and attended by His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The show was such a success that Lighthouse was awarded an award from the Ministry of Education for their outstanding work on this event.
