Harpa invests in Robe Forte

Harpa - Iceland’s premier concert hall and conference centre, located in capital city Reykjavik - has invested in 48 new Robe Forte moving lights which will be utilised in their 1600-capacity Grand Hall, home of the Icelandic Opera and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra.

Harpa is the highest profile concert and conference venue in the country and stages numerous high visibility productions and events as well as hosting meetings and summits. Karl Sigurdsson, managing director of Robe’s Iceland distributor Luxor, was delighted to win the tender and supply the project with Fortes. The luminaires are part of a technical upgrade that has replaced the original moving lights (from another brand) that were installed in 2011 when the project opened. Sigurdsson worked closely with the venue’s technical manager Andri Gudmundsson.

The Harpa team had previously had good experiences with their forty Robe Spiider LED wash beam luminaires, purchased in 2018, which have replaced all the previous generation of wash fixtures. “That wasn’t essential in getting the Fortes onboard, but it really helped that the Spiiders have been such a success”, noted Karl. The main house lighting control is GrandMA.

The first event at Harpa featuring the new Fortes took place on November 17th, featuring electro artists GusGus, with the fixtures inaugurated by their lighting designer Agnar Hermansson.
