Lighting needs: 

 

 

We are flexible regarding lighting equipment and can definitely adjust to your place and work with your equipment. 

 

Optimal version: We have around 40 lighting cues for the show. The 2nd act that plays in the auditorium requires lighting for afternoon, sunset, night, sunrise and daytime. There is also a ghost scene and a magic witch scene with blinking lights. 

If there is no possibility to black out the auditorium for the night scene, don’t worry.  We can provide the audience with blue lens paper eyeglasses as an interactive tool to allow people to experience the scene as nighttime.  

 

 

 

Audio needs:

 

Our audio needs depend on the acoustics in your auditorium and the availability of a well-tuned grand piano.

Opera singers usually don't need to be amplified if the acoustics are sufficient.

 

If acoustics of your auditorium are not supportive for opera singers’ voices we would request the fallowing:

 

Vocal wireless microphone   8

Microphone for piano  1 

Microphone for recorder with stand 1

 

 

Audience seating  arrangement:

 

Due to our interactive performance style, we usually set up the audience in a random pattern with curved flowing forms, not rectangular rows, so the singers can go in between the chairs to connect with people.

If your auditorium does not allow for this kind of arrangement we can adjust the interactive part of the performance to your space.

 

We are looking forward to working with you!
