Bolshoi Theatre Tashkent upgrades with Ayrton
The Alisher Navoi State Academic Bolshoi Theatre in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, houses a 1,440-seat auditorium, decorated with artisanal stucco, gilding, and Bukhara textiles. As part of a recent stage lighting renovation, the theatre introduced Ayrton luminaires to elevate artistic expression, performance flexibility, and visual precision.
“It was essential for us to integrate new technologies without compromising the historical character of the space”, says Vladislav Zhurakovsky, Head of Lighting, Bolshoi Theatre Tashkent. The lighting system concept and integration was by Sound Creations Electronics in collaboration with Vladislav Zhurakovsky, Art & Culture Development Foundation of Uzbekistan and the technical team of Yastreb Sound.
24 Ayrton Bora S profiles and 26 Ayrton Mistral S wash fixtures were supplied and installed by Sound Creations Electronics, official Ayrton distributor for Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) and the Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan). Together, these luminaires provide precise colour temperature management, real-time lighting adaptation, and seamless cue synchronization. “Concealed mounting and custom cable routing was required to ensure integration into a historical theatre, all of which were met with successfully”, notes Zhurakovsky.
With the new Ayrton lighting system in place, the theatre has already premiered several major productions. The Mari State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre presented Sergei Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” in a staging by Konstantin Ivanov, and the Tashkent premiere of Jacques Offenbach’s “The Tales of Hoffmann” by director Stefano Poda brought one of the most visually ambitious interpretations of the work to life. Ayrton fixtures supported the production’s layered scenography, from ethereal atmospheres to dramatic shadow contrasts, in harmony with the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan.
