Also known as the "Jewel of the Darling Downs”, the Empire Theatre is the largest performing arts precinct in the state of Queensland, Australia. Renowned for its classic art deco architecture, the heritage listed theatre in Toowoomba benefits now from a new architectural lighting system, illuminating the façade of the main building as well as the fly tower.
Chosen to deliver this high-profile project, Visual Focus and their team worked closely with the client and the ULA Group professionals to propose a perfect architectural lighting solution for the iconic building.
"We were planning to upgrade the architectural lighting of our main theatre building for a while and when the time was right, we wanted to make sure we chose the best technology available on the market,” explains Ben Hunt, Head of Lighting at the Empire Theatre. "Originally, we were looking at the existing Griven range, but just before we received a go ahead for our project, Griven released their new Capital series, which seemed to be a perfect solution for us. They re-rendered the visuals with the new fixtures, and we were really impressed.”
