These are part of a new installation at Vanemuine in the theatre's 660 seater Big House venue.
The installation is part of a much wider upgrade programme which has seen all eight Estonian state supported arts and culture venues receive a major lighting refit - with Robe moving lights deployed across all sites.
Involving over 500 fixtures distributed around the country, this has been co-ordinated by Robe's Estonian distributor, Tallinn based E&T Ltd.
Palle Palmé is based in Stockholm and works internationally on a wide variety of shows across theatre, live music and corporate event sectors.
He has been working on shows at The Vanemuine Teater for the last 10 years and enjoys the vibe of this premium producing and receiving house in Estonia's lively second city, which is renowned for its innovation and high production values.
This is the first time he has used the new lighting rig, which takes both these parameters to new levels.
He could hardly believe his luck this time around, with 55 x LEDWash 1200s, 30 x LEDWash 600s, 20 MMX Spots, 10 x 600E Spots and 24 x 600E Washes - all from Robe's latest Robin series - at his disposal.
The LEDWash 1200s and 600s are being used generally for strong rear and side lighting and cross stage washes. These are all hung on the house LX bars. Eight of the 600s are in 'shin-buster' positions on the floor for low-level washing.
Fourteen MMX Spots are used mid stage for back beam effects and for texturing the stage and set, designed by Ellen Cairnes. The other six MMXs are positioned on three FOH bars and used for front key-lighting, for which they are equally effective as well as more set and stage treatments.
Palmé programmes his own shows at Vanemuine, on this occasion using a Hog 3 console complete with over 400 cues, and from that perspective, having the Robes in the house also "really accelerated the process". The show is being operated in the Big House by Kaspar Aus.
