| MSC Musica is the evocative name of the new flagship of the MSC Cruise line: Almost 300 metres long, with thirteen decks and approximately 22,000 square metres of public areas, this ship is fitted with an impressive series of areas and services dedicated to relaxation, wellness and amusement. | With a choice that includes four restaurants, eleven bars, solarium, fitness centre, art gallery, cinema and so on, the ship�s great "La Scala" theatre (capacity: 800), Q32 disco and assorted pools (two for adults, two for kiddies and 4 Jacuzzi) are just some of the leading edge entertainment facilities on board the MSC Musica. |
SGM Installations in the key entertainment points For the illumination of all these locations, only SGM fixtures have been used.
The theatre. One of the top attractions for evening entertainment. The stage lighting design entrusts Ribalta and Giotto Spot 400 CMY fixtures with the task of illuminating the backdrops; Giotto Profile 400 moving head fixtures and Palco 3 Mobile LED colour-changing fixtures have been installed on the grid. Front lighting is courtesy of a series of automated fixtures: Giotto Wash 400, Giotto Profile 400 and Giotto Spot 400 (on the external pipe).
The disco. With a vaguely psychedelic touch in the décor, this room features a combination of music and high-impact images shown on the plasma screens, that cover the entire enormous floor. The Imago-Mediasynth media server handles all video content screened on the monitors.
The pools. When the sun sets, this area becomes an ideal location for evening events of various types, from live shows to banquets with entertainment. Able to adapt to each evening�s program, sixteen Palco 3 LED colour-changing fixtures with 25° and 40° lenses illuminate the pool level, public zone and stage. The colour-changing fixtures are all controlled by an SGM Pilot 2000 controller.
| Results In the theatre. The fixtures are installed on four levels, with a symmetric layout. They are all dedicated to illuminating the stage, except the Giotto Spot 400, which can also illuminate the stalls if necessary. Passing from evenings with acrobats and dancers to live shows by well-known groups, the SGM light rig is easily able to ensure ideal lighting for any kind of show, always up to the standards of the stylish décor and the events staged in the theatre, which change every evening.
In the disco. The features of the Imago-Mediasynth are seen at their best in a context characterized by numerous video screens. By means of a camera and video controller system, images created by the media server are integrated with live shots of the crowd, then modified with effects by the Imago-Mediasynth itself and screened in the monitors.
At the pool. Palco 3 IP65 fixtures were chosen specifically for this important area of the ship thanks to their valuable feature: high resistance to weather conditions. Positioned on the ring of the deck above that of the pools, SGM�s fixtures form a semi-circle round the area opposite the stage: The fixtures with 25° lenses are used to illuminate a wide open zone, whereas those with 40° lenses turned out to be valuable for stage lighting, due to the lack of height available for the installation.
