The Liaoning Ballet has taken delivery of 40 x ADB Stagelight Klemantis AS1000 LED cyclorama lights, half of them for fixed installation for the Liaoning Ballet and the other half for the ballet company’s worldwide touring performances of Hua Mulan.
The Liaoning Ballet is one of the most famous ballet companies in China. It is known for producing new Chinese cultural works and performing well-known ballet classics. The Liaoning Ballet’s new production interprets the iconic tale through modern ballet choreography and music. It is now touring globally.
Lighting Programmer Ma Liang from the Liaoning Ballet chose the new Klemantis cyc lights and 40 x ADB Stagelight Warp 12º-30º 800W Zoom Profile spotlights, which were previously purchased by the Centre, for the production. Sergey Martynov is Hua Mulan’s Lighting Designer.
Used to create light and shadow designs for Hua Mulan: “Klemantis has high light efficiency, less light attenuation and a uniform field,” said Ma Liang. “They offer a good light projection angle and also save stage space.” The Warp 800W Profiles offer “great colour temperature and high brightness,” Ma added. “It’s easy to change focus with the Profiles, and the lamp body zoom system accessories are durable and not easily damaged during transport.”
Ma reported that both fixtures deliver “amazing and wonderful” performances for Hua Mulan. Alfonso Zarate Takano is ADB’s Regional Sales Manager for APAC. He worked with ADB partner ACE (Advanced Communication Equipment) to arrange product demos at the Centre prior to purchase.
