GUADALAJARA, Mexico – Mexican rental company Luzmila lit Italian singer-songwriter Eros Ramazotti's concert at the Teatro Telmex recently with 30 Clay Paky Alpha Beam 1500 fixtures. The concert supported the artist's latest album, Ali e Radici (Wings and Roots). The sold-out crowd exceeded 11,000. "When the lighting design team from Eros Ramazotti heard that Luzmila had the first Alpha Beam 1500s in Mexico, they called us right away," said Luzmila lighting technician Federico Figueroa. "The fixtures did a phenomenal job. The beams are intensely bright and very fast. The effects were spectacular, and Mr. Ramazotti and his team were very pleased."
The Alpha Beam 1500 fixtures were placed in rows of five fixtures each on six movable truss sections positioned over the stage. The truss sections were raised, lowered and rotated during the performance to alternate between straight lines and crossing angles at varying heights, allowing for a wide range of looks.
Lighting control came from a Martin Maxxyz. The stage was completed with a large seven-meter-wide-by-four-meter-tall high-resolution LED screen showing images of Ramazotti during the performances.
"This was the first time the Alpha Beam 1500 was used in this part of the world," noted Bruno Santaguida, managing director of Luzmila. "Mr. Ramazotti put on a fantastic performance, and his design team showcased the fixtures most attractively. They were seen by a very large audience and we were happy to be part of it."
"Luzmila is a very strong partner to Clay Paky and has a very strong presence in Latin America," added Clay Paky sales manager Francesco Romagnoli. "When we heard that the Alpha Beam 1500 was specifically requested for the Eros Ramazotti concert, we were very proud, as he is a huge star in Italy and around the world. The support from Luzmila was fantastic."
