Alcons Hits the High Notes Again in The Joan
Australia – N amed after Australia’s famous coloratura soprano, Dame Joan Sutherland, the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith, New South Wales, is one of Sydney’s busiest performing arts complexes.
Opened in 1990, the venue has numerous performance spaces, and hosts a busy schedule of theatrical, musical and visual arts. Already mid-2019, production and technical manager Geoff Turner and head of audio Tim Anikin started looking for replacement of the old point source sound system that had served the dramatic theatre (The Q Theatre) from the beginning, to overcome the sound issues inherent in the space.
