Good morning all,
I just wanted to hear what other are doing regarding house lights for a classical (orchestra) concert.
Here's what we've been doing...
1. House @ FL for patron load in.
2. House to 50% for pre show announcement.
3. House sits at 25% for classical performance.
4. During breaks between pieces (for tuning), house stays at 25%.
5. Intermission house @ FL
6. House back to 25% for the rest of the performance.
7. Entertainers exit stage before encore & bows - house stays at 25%
8. Entertainers leave the stage - House @ FL
I know part of this comes down to preference, but I was wondering if there is some sort of unspoken protocol used for classical performances. Everyone here seems to have their own idea of what this should look like and just wanted to hear what others are doing.
Thanks!
