Royal Albert Hall gets spaced out with Robe

London’s Royal Albert Hall (RAH) venue purchased 17 x Robe BMFL Spot moving lights in February 2015 which have been used on a myriad of shows and events in the last few months including ‘Space Spectacular’, a co-promotion between the RAH and Raymond Gubbay Ltd., featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Anthony Inglis playing a series of space-orientated works.

Lighting was crafted by the RAH’s Lighting Designer & Systems Manager, Richard Rhys Thomas, who used 16 of the BMFL Spots, 34 of the house Robe PARfect LED PARs together with 16 x LEDBeam 100s and 32 x Pointes which were hired in from TSL Lighting as part of a large rig.

The BMFL Spots were positioned on the main overhead trusses and were the primary profiles on the rig, used for string gobo looks and as for wash and effects lights as required. The Pointes were grouped in threes on various angled trusses and on the deck to create big beamy looks shooting out and up into the vast height of the venue, as well as for creating wide and subtle break up looks.

The LEDBeam 100s were dotted around the orchestra and on the floor, utilised for air-effects and for a wall of colour emanating from the orchestra and reaching into the air. In these floor positions they also broke up the large orchestra area as well as framing them effectively.

The PARfects were used to illuminate the RAH’s organ as a centrepiece as well as to catch the underside of the aluminium roof dome. Other effects like ACL’s giant mirror balls and haze/smoke were also used. Pyro was designed and supplied by Just FX with a crew led by Lincoln Parkhouse. Lasers were delivered by Definitive Lasers, co-ordinated by Will Hitchins.
