About the Show

Weill said of Rice's play, “It (is) a simple story of everyday life in a big city, a story of love and passion and greed and death. I saw great musical possibilities in its theatrical device – life in a tenement house between one evening and the next afternoon.” Street Scene is an 'American opera', providing a synthesis of European opera and American musical theatre. In the 1980s Scottish Opera premiered Street Scene in the UK, and we look forward to seeing it again on a Glasgow stage in May. (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, 2018)

Programming a Scroller on GrandMA2

We had a rainbow plus 15' scroller on a 5k with 12 scrolls. To program this on grandMA2 you can use the Dimmer Scroller generic fixture profile. This allows you to control both dimmer and colour in the same channel. In the patch you can assign the dimmer and the scroller separate addresses. Once everything is patched you can use the first encoder wheel in the colour preset to scroll through the scroller. Once you reach each scroll store it as a colour presets allowing you to reach each colour quickly and easily.
