anadian superstar Celine Dion’s lighting designer, Yves Aucoin, has added Robe’s new MegaPointe multi-purpose
moving light fixtures to the rig for her popular Celine show at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Aucoin has worked with
Dion since 1989, and Montreal-based lighting supplier Solotech has been her supplier since her shows first started
carrying a production.
Twelve MegaPointes are positioned on a bridge upstage of the band for beams, back key-lighting, and projecting and
texturing onto the stage, as well as for aerial looks. Six MegaPointes along the front of the stage are used extensively
when the front curtain is in and the space is smaller and more intimate. Concentrated on the apron, the four remaining fixtures are on
four custom moving band risers from Tait.
