Strand Asia Wins Dongguan Arts Centre Project
Strand Lighting Asia has announced that they have won a contract to supply a complete lighting and control system for the new Dongguan Opera House in China. The stunning new performing arts complex in Dongguan was designed by Canadian Architect Carlos Ott whose projects have included the Bastille Opera House in Paris and the Canadian Broadcasting Center in Toronto.
The facility with an estimated cost of RMB 450 million is located on a 40,000 square metre site that houses two theatres. The main theatre is a 1600-seat opera house and also includes a 400-seat experimental theater. The experimental theatre features a fully flexible seating and staging system that can be configured to meet the needs of a wide range of performances.
Strand is supplying 21 Dimmer racks to the project with a mix of dimmer module types including 64 3kW and 5kW Sinewave dimmers. There are nearly 1800 dimmers in the system. The dimmer racks feature redundant tracking back up processors and are connected via Ethernet to the control console. Strand 550i and 530i Consoles provide control for the project which also features network DMX data distribution and WYSIWYG visualization software.
Installation begins in March and is scheduled for completion in May of this year.
