Yamaha Rivage PM10 in the mix in Odense
- Details
Performed during January and February at Odeon in Odense - a modern venue with a main hall that seats audiences of over 1700 - Leonora Christina is a musical extravaganza telling the 17th century story of one of Denmark’s greatest political intrigues. Directed by Peter Langdal, it includes “all the plot elements of love, power and treason essential for a great musical production”.
The performances featured high profile Danish actors Xenia Lach-Nielsen and Troels Lyby in the lead roles of Leonora Christina and her husband Corfitz Ulfeldt, as well as many other well-known Danish stars of stage and screen.
AV Center is one of the country’s leading production rental companies and a long-term user of Yamaha digital mixing consoles. It has a number of CL and QL mixers in its inventory, but a higher capacity system was needed for Leonora Christina. It was the perfect production for the company to invest in a Rivage PM10 system.
AV Center’s Jesper Findshøj was the sound designer and Front of House mix engineer for the show, which included more than 30 channels of digital wireless microphones, a comprehensive wired microphone package for the symphony orchestra and a large main PA.
“We have been using Yamaha consoles for many years and the natural sound, ease of use and rock-solid reliability make this mixing platform a perfect choice for classical productions,” says Jesper.
“I want to put all my energy and concentration into listening and focusing on the music and the Rivage PM10 system is especially fast and intuitive. Together with its huge soundstage and comprehensive package of dynamics and reverb plug-ins, it gives me the freedom to make musical and artistic choices, delivering a great cinematic sound experience to the audience.”
