UK - Lighting designer Durham Marenghi has been chosen to design the lighting for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Oympics in Turin, Italy, in 2006. The event will be designed by Mark Fisher and produced by the Italian group Filmmaster.

Marenghi has also revealed that he is to return to London's Royal Albert Hall in November with Classical Spectacular, the son-et-lumiere of favourite classical pieces featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and accompanied by a new lighting and laser design. The sell-out event, conducted by Anthony Inglis and produced by Raymond Gubbay, runs from the 20-23 November.

Marenghi's work can currently be seen illuminating the world tour of Diamonds for Holiday on Ice and the UK national tour of Saturday Night Fever.
