Maria Alexandra Pereira Bastos, commercial director at Luzeiro says: "We wanted a modern, uncomplicated and economical lighting system, and we immediately thought of ETC. We are so happy with the Congo jr desk, it has surpassed all expectations. Moreover, the support we have had from the ETC team has been exceptional."
The theatre opened in 1921 and for decades was the cultural centre of São Miguel, staging film screenings, musical acts, theatrical shows and operatic performances. The theatre even transformed into the Circo Equestre for the Portuguese Grand Circus Company's International Equestrian Show. In recent years, however, the old theatre became run down and needed updating. It has since been reconditioned architecturally and fully reequipped.
ETC's regional manager for Southern Europe, Fulvio Cotogni, says: "Working with the Teatro Ribeiragrandense was plain sailing, and we were proud to help with the restoration of this iconic building. The Congo jr is perfect for the Teatro Ribeiragrandense because its small footprint does not impose on the elegant building."
