Victorian Concert Venue Interior — Stage Lighting, Amsterdam

4 December 2017 · Amsterdam

Low-angle view up through a grand Victorian venue dressed for a live performance. Arched balcony arcades stack in layers against the fly tower above, warm festoon lights tracing the gallery rails while stage rigs throw blue and amber beams across the ceiling. The heritage architecture does the heavy structural work; the theatrical lighting turns it into something else entirely — the building as stage set, the stage set built from the building.
