Pull this

The "iron" at the Sydney Opera House still comes in nightly after the show is over and the set is cleared - it also has a "flap" on the bottom of it which drops to the horizontal (makes a hell of a noise - scares the living daylights out of us if we're in the pit and not expecting it!). Although not sure if it's been retained with the renovations currently happening - will find out in December I guess! I've never seen it used in anger and I don't know that it ever has been - I've never heard stories of a fire in the building and we've got orchestra members who have been working there since it was built so I suspect if anything had ever happened, I'd have heard about it.

• replacement of the existing iron curtain with a new lightweight fabric curtain (The curtain to be equivalent to Coopers FireMaster)
• removal of the existing “flap” that covers the gap between stage and auditorium.
