Broadcast live on Austrian national TV channel ORF, the final 2015 edition of the ‘Starnacht’ series of festival style outdoor pop concerts took place at the Dürnstein castle ruins in the Wachau valley, cut through by the River Danube. Produced by IP Media, lighting for the show was designed and programmed by Chris Moylan of Berlin based Optikalusion, and featured 31 x Robe BMFL Spots - the first time these had been used on a ‘Starnacht’ concert.

 

A full stage and roof system - 30 metres wide by 14 deep and with 13 metres of headroom -  was installed for the show, supplied together with all the lighting kit by Droneberger Showtechnik from Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. The broadcast featured 22 songs from 14 different artists, some with full band set ups and others singing live vocals to track, all requiring rapid changeovers.

 

The stage was divided into two rounded levels separated with mesh surfaces and 60 Sunstrips, and the curved roof-space allowed them to install some staggered curved trusses in the air. A diagonal runway/thrust at the front going out into the audience area facilitated some camera shots of the artists with the Dürnstein ruins as a background.

 

Eight BMFLs were positioned on the floor for looks into the cameras, with 15 in the air and one used as a rear follow spot. Seven fixtures were positioned so they could illuminate the complete opposite side of the banks along the river as well as the Dürnstein Castle to the rear.
