White Light Go Out On The Town With English National Opera
Fitting a full-scale musical into ENO's already-busy rep meant that lighting designer Mark Henderson and ENO's head of lighting Kevin Sleep decided to add some additional automated lighting equipment to complement the automated Robert Juliat 2.5kW PCs in Licht Technik yokes that were added to the rig as part of the Coliseum's refurbishment in 2003/2004.
Continuing the long relationship between White Light and ENO (White Light supplied the Juliat/Licht Technik units, has a long history of supporting the Coliseum's lighting control systems, and also supplied the moving lights to the company's production of The Handmaid's Tale in 2003) and between White Light and Mark Henderson, White Light have now supplied the production with six Vari*Lite VL2000 Spots and eight High End StudioBeam washlights. White Light have also supplied a Strand 530i lighting console to ENO; this is being used as a remote console connected to the theatre's existing Strand control system, allowing their operators to program the show from the auditorium rather than the lighting control room.
On The Town joins many other shows in London's West End using White Light equipment, these including The Producers, The Woman In White, Chicago, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Les Misérables.
