What is now DHA's DLC began its life as a prototype Light Curtain produced for the English National Opera's 1976 production of Dalibor and in 1978 24 Light Curtains were used in Evita to create the innovative production concept of a 'white out' effect. The first motorised Digital Light Curtains were installed on Miss Saigon in New York and the range is now available in six or eight lamp versions with integral tilt drive and colour scroller. DLCs offer reliable versatility, particularly when used with the optional pitching yoke which provides a second axis of movement.
Other current stage shows which feature DLCs include The Witches of Eastwick, My Fair Lady and The Secret Garden in the UK, Cats in Germany and Footloose in the USA. DLCs are still going strong at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas for the EFX show, and have been used to light Sting, Jamiroqui and Culture Club concerts. Additionally, the five-deck theatre aboard Royal Caribbean Cruises Line's Voyager of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, recently installed four DHA DLCs.
