Il Divo 20th Anniversary Tour
“ Il Divo was probably the last show I thought I would use them on,
but when the band decided to modernize their design, I knew the IVL range would be
a perfect fit,” said lighting Designer Ignacio Rosenberg.
“The variance-free laser unit enabled me to weave elegant beam lasers in a way that
went hand in hand with Il Divo’s image, lighting and video content, and
complemented their classical music.”
Il Divo Celebrates Two Decades with Spectacular 20th Anniversary Tour
Featuring Minuit Une’s IVL Dice
Classical crossover sensations Il Divo are celebrating two decades of musical
excellence with their “Il Divo – 20th Anniversary Tour”, a global event spanning Latin
America, North America in July, and Europe later this year. Known for their unique
blend of opera and pop, Il Divo has captivated audiences worldwide, performing at
prestigious events such as the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and the 2006 FIFA
World Cup in Germany.
In an effort to modernize their stage design and enhance their live performances, Il
Divo’s Tour Manager, Philip Marfleet, collaborated with Lightswitch Senior
Designer, Ignacio Rosenberg. Known for his innovative lighting designs,
Rosenberg seized the opportunity to work with Minuit Une, a leading name in the
lighting industry, using their immersive laser-based IVL Dice fixtures to bring Il Divo;s
vision to life.
Rosenberg praised the versatility of the IVL Dice and its ability to adapt seamlessly
to various small to mid-sized venue configurations, making it the ideal lighting
solution for this tour.
The fixtures were obtained through Minuit Une’s exclusive UK and Ireland
Distributor, Entedi. Marfleet emphasized the significance of Entedi support, stating,
“The Entedi team played a pivotal role in the entire sales process. Their unwavering
support and unparalleled responsiveness were essential in enabling us to meet our
tight deadlines.”
Eric Phelep, International Sales Director from Minuit Une, expressed his enthusiasm
for the collaboration, saying, “We are thrilled to see our IVL Dice become an integral
part of the musical experience and enhance the emotional depth of Il Divo’s timeless
ballads.”
Cally Bacchus, Managing Director of Entedi, shared his excitement about the project,
stating: “Collaborating with Lightswitch and Philip Marfleet to seamlessly integrate
Minuit Une’s IVL fixtures for Il Divo’s 20th Anniversary Tour was an incredible
experience. Bringing their vision to life and crafting something truly memorable and unexpected for the audience is what Entedi is all about. We look forward to working
on more exciting projects in the near future ”
