‘La Perle by Dragone’, an acrobatic water show from Franco Dragone, opened its doors for the first time in August 2017 at Al Habtoor City in the heart of Dubai in a purpose-built, 1300-seat theatre designed by set designer Jean Rabasse, and executed by Khatib and Alami Architects and theatre consultants Auerbach Pollock Friedlander. Four of Robert Juliat’s Cyrano 2500 W HMI were chosen as ‘La Perle’s followspots.

 

The initial lighting design and specification by Enrico Bagnoli was implemented on site by his assistant Claude Plante, and programmed by Stephane Lecavalier and Nathan Files. The show is currently operated by the La Perle Lighting Operations team of Anton Montaut, Head of Lighting and Video, Steve Critchley, Assistant Head of Department, and Michael Swan, Lighting Rover and board op sub.

 

“The four Cyrano followspots are mounted front-of-house, two on stage left and two on stage right, on two separate levels for maximum coverage as our theatre production is performed to a 270° audience,” says Montaut. “We use the in-house Cyranos to cover the main characters of the show and any speciality artists, high divers, flyers, acrobats and motorcyclists throughout the show, and for end-of-show bows. The Cyrano’s built-in frost is used on around 90% of the followspot cues.”
