For its global premiere on the stage of Vienna’s Ronacher Theater, the musical “Rock me Amadeus – The Falco Musical” was brilliantly illuminated using PROLIGHTS’ Astra Wash.
This musical, replete with evocative scenes, intricate choreography, and dazzling costumes, demanded an extraordinary lighting setup to properly showcase the spectacle and celebrate the life of the musician Falco.
The lighting design, meticulously crafted by the esteemed lighting designer Howard Harrison and musical lighting supervisor Lucas Berger, featured various mobile wash lights from PROLIGHTS’ Astra Wash series: specifically, the Astra Wash19Pix and Astra Wash7Pix.
Harrison’s choice to incorporate the Astra Wash19Pix into the lighting rig on both the ceiling and side walls was not only for their versatile light effects but also for their decorative potential, thanks to the integrated pixel ring. Meanwhile, the Astra Wash7Pix found its place on the speaker truss, lowered from the loft during the musical sequences of the show—a distinctive installation made feasible by the compact size and reduced weight of PROLIGHTS’ wash lights.
