The Royal Danish Theatre have staged the first ever production of a newly-written opera, The Snow Queen – an interpretation of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairytale by one of Denmark’s most eminent composers, Hans Abrahamsen. Production director Francisco Negrin wanted to create a multidimensional sensory experience. Conventional lighting by renowned designers Bruno Poet and Matt Daw was used in collaboration with an LED lighting installation by Spanish audiovisual studio Playmodes, known for their architectural lighting designs. ENTTEC Pixelators and the Pixel Link system were chosen to control an innovative and immersive light show. Pre-production, conceptual design-making and rendering between the artistic team and the Royal Danish Theatre took roughly two years, followed by two weeks of physical LED lighting installation and a further two weeks of on-site programming. The net result was an innovative and immersive audiovisual experience that changes the perception of what an opera can be.
