Opera in mission impossible 5 plus#
We had four systems of MLA Mini with a wide variety of hardware to deal with most situations, plus some fills to plug the gaps. Not even MLA Mini and all its wonders would deal with a crowd of 3000 stretched over a 35m x 120m area across the front of the Opera House. Two raised positions built into the set, either side of the central catwalk, were given to us by the design team, but that was all.
The Red Carpet system was challenging purely for the fact that there were very few places to actually place any loudspeakers.
The Red Carpet event involved the building of a vast scenic platform in front of the Opera House where film clips, interviews with the stars and music were pumped out to around 3000 fans through a combination of MLA Mini and MLX subs, whilst inside, a system of MLA Compact, MLX subs and DD12 was very carefully installed to deliver 5.1 surround sound for the IMAX™ screening of the new movie. What's it got to do with anything other than showing off? Almost every single loudspeaker deployed across two systems had a Martin Audio logo on it, and the applications were as highly demanding as the environmental temperatures. It was a very successful visit however, and this is the story of how a highly experienced team from RG Jones Sound Engineering tackled yet another unusual event. It was absolutely roasting, as hot as any show I've undertaken in the Middle East, albeit amongst infinitely preferable surroundings. One thing is certain, they were certainly not singing about the same Vienna as I have recently returned from, where it was a mild 35 degrees minimum every day for the 5 days it took to stage the world premiere of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation at the Vienna State Opera House.
