This huge Opera Australia production of La Traviata features spectacular sets, beautiful costumes, dazzling lighting, fireworks and a 9-metre chandelier sparkling with Swarovski Elements crystals suspended above a purpose-built, shimmering stage on the waters of Sydney Harbour with spectacular views over the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Along with the beautiful 10,000 Swarovski Elements crystals the La Traviata Chandelier contains 1,025 crystal shapes, 23,104 facets, 24 moving lights and 3,000 LED lights.
The spectacular set design is complemented by a sophisticated lighting design by John Rayment which creates the atmosphere of changing scenes through colour, dazzling light displays and fireworks. The rig includes Vari*lite VL3500 washes and spots, VLX, Martin MACIII Performances, 2000 Wash XB, and GLP Impression RZ all controlled by a MA2 console. Site lighting includes a variety of ETC S4 (gobos), Shakespeares (gobos), Palcos (tree bash), incandescent balloons, ChromaStrips, and LED budlights.
