The Santa Fe Opera Re-Imagines ‘Orfeo’ Opera Production with Lectrosonics Wireless

Throw away your stereotypical stuffy ideas about opera. The Santa Fe Opera is no ordinary opera company, and the company’s home, the open-air Crosby Theatre, is no ordinary opera house. The opera’s new production of Orfeo, directed by Yuval Sharon with music by Claudio Monteverdi and a world premiere orchestration by Nico Muhly, is an innovative reimagining of one of the oldest known operatic works. The artistic choices around this production, which include using effects-processing on individual voices as well as mixing them spatially into the specially built multichannel surround system, required that the key characters wear wireless mic systems. For this, the opera uses Lectrosonics SSM belt pack transmitters and channels of Venue2 receivers.Read More »The Santa Fe Opera Re-Imagines ‘Orfeo’ Opera Production with Lectrosonics Wireless

Metallica’s ‘Cozy Stadium’ Paradox

Dan Braun, Creative Director/Production Designer for Metallica, spoke to PLSN about the deceptively spare look to the band’s 66-truck M72 World Tour. “All of that is the paradox that is Metallica,” he said, achieved by pushing back on naysayer pushback and getting the proportions of everything just right. “One of the things that I pride myself on is trying to make the room feel intimate; to make it feel small. The first review I read of this show called it cozy, that somehow we’d made a stadium cozy. We have changed the experience of a show in an 80,000 seat stadium.”
