Revolving Audience Hears Musical Adaptation of "Soldier of Orange" via Meyer Sound D-Mitri

FOH online: "Soldier of Orange, a musical adaptation of the 1977 Dutch film, Soldaat van Oranje, is a moving experience for the audience - in more ways than one. For starters, the entire audience - more 1,100 people - revolve around the stage on a turntable that measures 33 meters across, making 30 stops during each performance.
The audio support comes in the form of 14 identical loudspeaker clusters, evenly spaced in fixed positions with the sets. That allows for a complete theatrical LCR mix with extensive reverb and surround effects, a complex mix that must progress around the loudspeaker clusters as the audience turns.
