Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay invests in Robe

Singapore’s performing arts centre Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, a producing and receiving house and one of the busiest arts centres in the world, has recently invested in 170 Robe moving lights and LED products as part of its technical infrastructure upgrade across venues.

Delivered by Robe’s Asia Pacific office, which is also based in Singapore, the Robe equipment includes Painte and Esprite Fresnel and Profile moving lights, Footsie LED footlights and T32 Slim Cyc lights, all of which join the lighting inventory which encompasses a range of lighting brands to cover various requirements.

The purchase was the culmination of a collaboration between Robe Asia Pacific and the Robe R&D and production teams in the Czech Republic, especially with the development of the Painte Fresnel. “This collaboration of various Robe teams across the globe has been extraordinary in order to meet the Esplanade team’s exact requirements for a Fresnel, aware that meeting expectations and deadlines would be a challenge”, comments Robe Asia Pacific’s Jens Poehlker. “It was all extremely tight from the get-go, and I was delighted to receive the green light from our CEO Josef Valchar.”

The Robe products have been allocated across different venues within Esplanade, including the 1,600-seat Concert Hall and 2,000-seat Theatre, which are housed under two uniquely designed dome structures fitted with double-glazed glass ceilings and aluminium sunshades. The other performance spaces include the Concourse, DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre and Recital Studio, plus a Rehearsal Studio that can also be utilised for entertainment and events. Esplanade’s year-round schedule of approximately 4,000 arts performances and activities embraces a vibrant mix of cultures, languages and genres including dance, music, theatre, and more. 

Esplanade’s Head of Lighting, Heryadi Yusof, is a key part of the technical production team. He’s worked with the organisation for 23 years, overseeing the planning, implementation, and maintenance of lighting systems to support the various programmes and performances. He has been a lighting industry professional for thirty years, having worked on a wide range of performance and technical production projects.
