Five’s is the creative partner for PARSIFAL AT ATHENAEUM shows, to be happening on October 7 and 8, 2016, with an impressive light, sound and staging design.
These shows represent a new and unique concept in Romania and in the world. They present Wagner’s creation in a show where the audience is situated in the middle of action, and combines the musical components (orchestra, choir, vocals) with complex theatre elements (light, scenery, costumes, sound and visual special effects), using the acoustic and architectural characteristics of the Athenaeum.
Having a vast experience in designing renowned artistical projects, Five’s will conceive an entirely new staging design, consisting in two overlapping stages. A bridge will be built between the main stage, where the choir will be, to ensure the passion on other stage, where the ballet and grail reveal moments. Moreover, Five’s will design a complex light show, to enhance the choir in foyer and the one in the hall, with the spectators. For the sound of all show, a Synco / Marin Audio performing sound system will be used.
Technical equipment used by Five’s will be: SGM Six-Pack, GLP Impression 120RZ, Varilite VL3500Q Spot, Clay Paky Sharpy moving heads, controlled with Grand MA 2 Full Size light controller; Synco / Martin Audio W8LC sound system; customized stage system.
PARSIFAL AT ATHENAEUM was launched in May 2015, by The Romanian Foundation for Excellence in Music, in partnership with “George Enescu” philharmonic orchestra, on the occasion of the 100 years anniversary since the debut of this opera play in Romania, under the baton of George Enescu. In October, this partnership was renewed together with the conductor Christian Badea, to mark the gala opening of the concerts season at the Athenaeum.
