Cervantes
National Theatre, also known as National Theatre of Buenos Aires, is the
national theatre of Argentina. In 1995 it was declared a National Historic
Monument. Located on Córdoba Avenue the Cervantes houses three performance
halls: the María Guerrero Salon, the Guerrero Salon and the Luisa Vehíl Salon
which is a multipurpose room known for its extensive gold leaf decor. The
theatre has recently invested in a grandMA2 ultra-light.
Daniel
Zappietro, LD and Electrical Enginering Manager at the Teatro Nacional
Cervantes, commented on why the theatre made the commitment to grandMA2: “We
have been using grandMA series one for more than ten years when it replaced
some older consoles. The MA consoles are one of the best investments we have
made, and I consider it to be the best lighting desk both now and then so this
year we decided to incorporate a grandMA2 ultra-light into our inventory. The
other main reason for continuing with MA is the support and assistance offered
by Antonio Agra and his team. Stage Tech has the best service and support in
the country and have changed perceptions in how service and support is
delivered to our market.”
Since 2006 the
theatre has featured an MA control system consisting of: 1 grandMA full-size, 1
grandMA micro, 1 MA NSP (Network Processing Unit) and 1 MA 2Port Node onPC Pro. “All elements are
still working flawlessly – full time – every day” says Antonio Agra, CEO of
Stage Tech SRL, MA’s distributor in Argentina and Uruguay.
