Paris cabaret shows - technical info Best answer on the web
Author: admin // Category: xn--g7qx97f.comMoulin Rouge (Paris, France)
Lido (Paris France)
I need theater technical info (lighting & sound equipment, stage
requirements, seating, etc.), cast & staff info including any
management company info (# of people, required
staff), budget, box office, design/architect firms info, menus (if
applicable), and anything else that I'm missing here.
I found the budget in an article in Businessweek Online:
The $1.7 million production, called Feerie (''Fairy Tale''), is expected to boost revenues this year by 10%, to about $25 million. http://www.businessweek.com/2000/00_26/c3687165.htm

Lido
1150-seat panoramic theater
?To ensure perfect visibility for everyone in the audience, the 1150-seat panoramic theater has been designed without columns. A single 45-meter prestressed concrete beam provides the necessary long-bearing support. A giant elevator allows the orchestra section, where 300 guests dine, to sink 80 centimeters into the floor to further improve visibility.? http://www.cofrase.com/cabarets/lido/index.htm
HISTORY OF THE LIDO:
?In 1946 the Clerico brothers took over an establishment which had been all the rage during the Belle Epoque. Its decoration was directly inspired by the great beach of the Lido in Venice. The Clericos completely overhauled the building, making it into a cabaret, which was unique in the world. With the help first of Pierre Louis Guerin, then Rene Fraday and Miss Bluebell, the Lido literally invented the notion of the dinner-show as we have come to know it throughout the world. One show was to replace another, the latest always more spectacular than its predecessor, and each met with triumphant success. The world's most beautiful avenue still remembers the opening nights when the Lido received all of the international society. Its uninterrupted success lead the cabaret to seek larger quarters.?
1,100 seat panoramic theatre
60,000 square feet
?In 1977, the Lido was moved to the Normandy building, whose 60,000 square feet allowed for the creation of a 1,100 seat panoramic theatre offering perfect visibility to each visitor. At that time, Christian Clerico took over from his father Joseph, and has since managed France's greatest private theatre.? http://tima.imag.fr/conferences/Dtip/dtip2000/Programme.html
The New Lido was designed by Italian architects Giorgio Vecchia and Franco Bartoccini.
http://www.lido.fr/us/legende/nouveau_lido.php
"One of the most famous nightclubs in the world, Le Lido in Paris, selected Medialon Manager for show control when renovating the revue show for its 26th season. This year?s spectacular Bonheur runs twice a day and is the story of a young "bird-lady" looking for happiness. The show has four scenes and uses twenty-three sets, including an airplane, an ice skating rink, a fountain, a swimming pool, and an Indian temple. Four Manager show controllers are used to partition, control, and synchronize all show elements (including audio, video, lighting, and effects) while supporting live interaction with onstage talent. The audio department has its own Manager license, which starts and monitors the time code generator, to which all four licenses are synchronized. The audio controller monitors the audio playback sources and the time code, with contingency plans and backup equipment for a variety of progressive signal dropouts. This layering of contingencies greatly reduces the chance of a show mishap, and is essential in an international show of this caliber. Two MX2424 HD recorders, a Yamaha console, and a Peavey MediaMatrix house processor are controlled in this way."
"The lighting and video department also has a dedicated Manager license, which fires cues to a WholeHog® III lighting console and the video players. "A primary advantage of using a show controller to control the lighting desk is the ability to bypass some cues live or to offset some part of the show, especially when talent behaves differently than expected," says Medialon?s Alex Carru. "These ?wild? adjustments are written as short, self-contained cues, and are fired from a Medialon Remote Desk, which provides much faster selection and actuation than keyboard or mouse." The lighting Manager also acts as a backup for the lighting console, every console cue is contained as a DMX file in the show controller."
"A third Medialon Manager is used to control the water show and some rigging elements, which have various backups. "Water effects are notoriously hard to program, and in this case, the water Manager was programmed using Medialon?s ?TimeX? function," explains Carru. "Using TimeX, a series of untimed (but technically complete) cues are tapped into rhythm with the audio tracks. The tapped cues are then micro-timed using the other features of Manager, to provide a sinuous and metrical water show without a lot of coding." A fourth license of Manager acts as a supervisory and reporting system, monitoring the departmental licenses and extracting variables from each for display on backstage monitors. For example, heads up displays at stage wings indicate the cue currently in progress plus a countdown to the next cue. "This makes life a lot easier when, at the Lido, up to four productions may be mounted simultaneously. And, of course, every controller is loaded with all three craft programs in case of a switchover," Carru continues."
"All equipment is controlled via TCP/IP, except for time code, which is piped directly to an Adrienne RG1 time code card in each Manager computer. The total roster of equipment under control: 12 DMX universes, 20 MIDI channels, 13 RS-232 serial ports (over IP), 2 Tascam MX 2424?s,an Evertz time code generator, a MiniDisc Player, aMedia Matrix DSP assembly, aYamaha Audio console, a Video Player, a Doremi hard disk recorder, a Wholehog III, a Videoprojector, a Video scaler and selector, a DVD Player and 36 I/O contacts for the water show and scenes."

?The Lido opened the newest 26th revue BONHEUR on December 8th, 2003. For the first time the different segments of the revue are linked by a single theme : a woman's quest for happiness. Her journey is recounted in the four tableaux making up the 90 minute-revue, with a plethora of special effects and exceptional specialty acts. Led by the Bluebell Girls and the Lido Boys Dancers, the new revue, designed by Lido Artistic Director Pierre Rambert, offers a stunning contemporary vision while respecting the grand tradition of the legendary Lido shows.? http://www.cofrase.com/cabarets/lido/index.htm

Bonheur Budget
E9 million to create
E3 mill on costumes
?The Lido's latest show, Bonheur - which cost E9 million to create, E3 million of which was spent on the elaborate costumes - has been running for more than two years, and is expected to continue until the end of 2008. ? http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20379090-2702,00.html
?The female dancers, who have to measure at least 1.75 metres (5 ?9"), have their weight written into their contracts and are banned from gaining or losing more than 2 kg (4.4 lbs).?
?The 42 Bluebell Girls run through some 10 costume changes per show, generally involving G-strings, towering heels and for one scene, a metallic headdress weighing 13 kg (29 lbs).?
?A team of dressers makes sure the jewel-encrusted outfits, which account for a third of the show?s budget of 9 million euros, end up on the right performer.?
? The show features 23 sets, including an ice rink, an articulated elephant and an 80,000-litre (17,600-gallon) pool -- all on a stage just 14 metres (yards) wide.?
