The first gala in a new theatre
QPAC's Glasshouse Theatre officially opened with a gala performance on 12 March 2026. The new venue joined the Playhouse, Lyric Theatre, Concert Hall and Cremorne Theatre within the South Bank performing arts centre.
The gala preceded an opening season that included Queensland Ballet's Messa da Requiem, The Last Ship and The Drover's Wife: The Opera. Our work was for the opening gala itself, supplying a temporary production package for the occasion.
From moving profiles to practical lighting
Krank'd supplied Martin MAC Viper XIP profiles and an ETC Apex 5 console, together with Astera QuikSpots, Pixel Bricks, NYX Bulbs and a PowerStation. The package also included ACME Super Dot Lines, festoon, an Antari IP-1500 fog machine and confetti effects.
The package brought together conventional show control, larger moving profiles and smaller lighting elements that could live within the event setting. Festoon and NYX Bulbs added practical sources alongside the performance fixtures, while fog and confetti formed part of the effects supply for the gala.
