Teatro de la Zarzuela counts on Ayrton
- Details
Technical director of La Zarzuela Antonio López comments," The Ghibli are silent, their energy consumption is low and their light source is very high, with extremely precise positioning, slow and smooth movement.”
The Ayrton Ghibli premiered in the play The Green Envelope and has been key to bringing the show closer to young audiences. Its illuminator, Juanjo Llorens, says that "the versatility of the Ghibli gives dynamism to the play because the viewer appreciates that something is always happening. Its quality relies on dimmer smoothness and precision. All these advances become very necessary as we get used to the latest technologies."
Aiming to sculpt light rather than just design it, the Teatro de la Zarzuela has also been equipped with six Levante-S by Ayrton. Antonio López notes, "It produces ultra-high performance in terms of white light and is specially designed for stage applications due to its silence, which is so important for theatre plays. Let's listen to the artists and not to the technology."
When professional moving head LED spots come into scenic spaces, it is possible to solve a wide variety of needs without needing heavy equipment, which improves the safety of the technical team by reducing the burden and complexity of their work. There is still a long way to sophisticate this luminaire, but as López points out: "These devices make it easier for the different light sources to coexist, in addition to facilitating the lighting of the different shows in shorter times. This is the right path, the future."
Antonio López adds, "We plan to carry out the modernisation of the technical infrastructures that allow us to expand and improve our stage and musical activities. With these improvements, we are playing our part in reducing the ecological footprint and increase energy efficiency - a commitment that goes hand in hand with the transition to LEDs to turn this ecologic will into a reality in theatres.”
