Setting up “Tosca” - with Pacific Symphony Rome CAN be built in a day!

Breaking down a pops concert and building an opera set, Pacific Symphony’s stage crew worked through the night to set up the 90-ft screen and build the stage so that projection and lighting could rehearse at 6 a.m. the following morning. In the video, you’ll notice a number of lighting cues as well as each projector getting its rough alignment and test images. Pacific Chorale then enters to work with Music Director Carl St.Clair before the orchestra arrives. http://www.PacificSymphony.org

With conductor Carl St.Clair leading with broad, lush strokes, the scene had a grandeur and sonic splendor that you rarely get in an opera house.
