Chauvet lights Toluca Renaissance concert
- Details
This spirit was reflected in Renaissance, a concert performed by Orquesta Filarmónica de Toluca at the iMorelos Theatre before a live and livestreamed audience to mark International Music Day. For many involved in the performance, it was a rebirth as it represented the first time they were able to perform together in public since the onset of COVID-19.
Reflecting the hopeful and contemplative spirit of the Renaissance concert was a lighting design that blended vibrant celebratory looks with complex subtleties. Overseen by Mario Márquez, head of the Morelos Theatre Forum, the multi-faceted show relied on a collection of powerful, yet flexible, Chauvet Professional Maverick fixtures.
"The Maverick fixtures provide a quick response and the necessary power for any presentation in high-performance live shows,” said Márquez. “They are very quiet fixtures. Another great point in their favour, in terms of panning and tilting, they provide great versatility. Add to this the variety of gobos, and it’s easy to see why they make the work more practical, fast and functional.”
For the Renaissance concert, the design team relied on the Maverick MK3 Wash, Maverick MK2 Spot, Maverick MK1 Hybrid, and Maverick MK3 Profile. The two wash fixtures in the rig were used to bathe the stage in a variety of colours, while also providing camera-friendly effects. For specials, the team called up the two powerful 440-watt spot and single hybrids in the rig.
