Stage Illumination at the Symphony Hall

Photo 1 Hall

Outline

The Symphony Hall — a full-scale concert hall designed especially for classical music performances and featuring an authentic pipe organ — opened in 1982 after extensive renovations (Photo 1).

Lighting Fixtures

For the main spotlights, remote-controlled lighting equipment with exceptional operability was installed out of consideration for the lighting operation environment in this concert hall. Two main types of equipment were installed; the first, in addition to remote-control pan, tilt, and focus functions, features a remote-control scroll-type color changer function; the second type features “barn door” flaps on the top, bottom, left, and right, each of which can be opened and closed independently by remote control. The fixtures can be controlled using a control panel in the lighting control room (Photo 2) or using a portable control device, enabling wireless operation from the stage or from the audience area.
