Dutch Musical Award Winners Feature Alcons Pro-Ribbon Line Array Systems
The live-televised 2008 Dutch Musical Awards Gala included the award for the best musicals of 2008. The first two award-winning musicals feature an Alcons sound system. As expected, ‘Ciske de Rat, the musical' broke all records with no less than seven awards, out of 13 nominations. This musical is not only the most-successful Dutch musical, but also the largest touring musical as well. The show is on tour with an Alcons LR14 system, BF302 subs and ALC amplified controllers.
Runner-up in a total number of awards was Les Miserables, with four awards. This is performed in Rotterdam's Nieuwe Luxor theatre, with a large number of Alcons LR16's, SR9's, subs and ALC's. During the Gala, previews of new productions were performed as an ‘appetizer' for the coming theater season.
As last year, the Awards Gala itself was also amplified through an Alcons pro-ribbon sound system. This year, designer Jeroen ten Brinke decided to opt for seven arrays of eight LR16 pro-ribbon compact line-arrays each. Being a live-broadcasted event, sightline disruption (for sake of best sound projection) was out of the question, so multiple arrays had to be flown, with a steep tilt downwards.
The complete system was supplied by Focus advanced event technologies of Amsterdam.
