The Cardiff Christmas Festival once again enchanted the city in 2024. Stage Lighting Services was proud to play a vital role in making this magic happen. As a leading provider of lighting, staging, and rigging for professional theatre and live entertainment, we were thrilled to support this large-scale festive production.
This yearās festival featured the captivating “The Snow Queen” as its main production. Because this was a professional theatre show within a unique Spiegeltent environment, our technical expertise was essential to create a seamless experience.
Professional Collaboration with Lighting Designer Elanor Higgins
A production of this scale requires a high level of creative and technical synergy. We were delighted to work closely with acclaimed Lighting Designer Elanor Higgins. Elanorās vision for “The Snow Queen” demanded a rig that could provide both ethereal atmosphere and dramatic precision.
By collaborating with Elanor, we ensured that every cue enhanced the narrative of the performance. Our team provided the technical support necessary to translate her intricate designs into a functional, high-performance lighting rig.
Technical Expertise for Professional Theatre
Our team provided a multifaceted technical solution to ensure the festival’s success. We focused on high-end entertainment standards to meet the demands of a professional touring production.
Robe LEDBeam 350 & Professional Fixtures
To achieve Elanor’s design, we utilised a diverse array of fixtures, including the Robe LEDBeam 350 and Robe PAINTE. These dynamic moving heads allowed for precise beam control and vibrant colour mixing.
Consequently, the design transported audiences into a winter wonderland. Furthermore, the entire rig was supported by 100% LED fixtures, ensuring an eco-friendly and efficient setup for the duration of the festival.
Milos 290HD and Safe Rigging
Safety and precision are paramount in any theatre installation. Therefore, our experienced crew meticulously installed all rigging using Milos 290HD trussing. This heavy-duty system ensured that every light and effect was secure, providing a reliable framework for the performers and the audience alike.
Power Distribution and Event Support
Beyond the stage, we managed the essential infrastructure that keeps a festival running.
- Reliable Power: We provided a safe power supply for all technical equipment. This included everything from the main sound system to site lighting and catering.
- Skilled Operators: Our expert operators controlled the ETC Gio console. As a result, every transition was seamless, and the visual effects remained consistent for every performance.
