The Stadsschouwberg (City Theatre) in Bruges, Belgium. 150 years old. Comfortable, acoustically outstanding and rich with life. Technically challenging in terms rigging and the factor of acrobatics on a raked stage, but these things fade into the background when you are in the show.
To perform at places like this, well… you get the idea.
It shouldn’t be brushed aside, but absorbed. When you’ve got a few hours in a place like this to do your job (tech, warmup/training, then get ready for the show) you can easily lose sight of how magical the places are, the heritage they contain and the ghosts they possess. I stood on the stage after everyone was gone, consciously etching the image into my eyes and feeling into my skin.
Photographers out there, This is taken handheld with my Canon 6d and 17-40mmf4L. iso5000, f5.6. This camera is almost 2 years old and I can shoot crazy high iso handheld and get useable photos. I can only imagine what the next generation will give us in terms of sensors. Click the photo to enlarge.
