Robe a Winner at 2021 Sanremo Music Festival
Italy – The 2021 Sanremo Music Festival was staged at Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, Liguria, and apart from being one of the country’s biggest and best-known song competitions and media events, also chose the country’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. It was organised and broadcast by RAI and lit by director of photography (DoP) Mario Catapano.
The lighting rig included over 400 Robe moving lights, a mix of T1 Profiles, Spiiders, LEDBeam 150s, Pointes and a six-way RoboSpot system, all supplied by Pesaro-based rental company Sound d-light Srl.
For the first time, the competition, which unfolded over five evenings of seat-edge live television, also broadcast worldwide, and streamed via the official ESC website, was hosted without a live audience due to Covid-19 restrictions.
