Katherine Jenkins Christmas Spectacular

James Price 14th December 202018th September 2021 Concerts, Live Events

Storm were delighted to provide lighting equipment for this special Christmas concert film. Bringing with it some much needed festive cheer. Filmed live at the Royal Albert Hall, including additional locations around London’s Royal Albert Hall. The concert will be broadcast on ITV over the festive period and also available on Blu-ray and DVD. Find out more about the concert and see the trailer below.

Katherine Jenkins OBE returns to her all-time favourite venue with a unique and unforgettable Christmas musical to play in cinemas from 1 December. Bringing joy and festive celebrations to audiences around the world.

Katherine Jenkins: Christmas Spectacular sees the Welsh sensation perform seasonal favourites and carols with full nostalgic Hollywood musical glamour and wonder. The production was given unprecedented and exclusive access to the historic venue. It also marked the 50th time that Katherine has performed there.

The all-star cast includes beloved actors Vanessa Redgrave and Bill Nighy, operatic icon Sir Bryn Terfel, Italian Tenor Alberto Urso, American Broadway star Marisha Wallace, English National Ballet Lead Principal Erina Takahashi, the Royal Air Force Regiment Band among others.

“Every December I perform a Christmas concert at the Royal Albert Hall; it is one of the highlights of my year. Sadly, this year arts venues around the globe are facing challenges and traditional Christmas concerts and carol services are under threat. After the 16 concerts I gave from home during lockdown. I realised how music can bring people together so rather than leave audiences without. We took the challenge head-on and made a fully-fledged feature film. Using the spaces of the Royal Albert Hall and camera and story-telling techniques in ways never done before.”

Knight’s Kingdom Castle

James Price 10th December 202028th January 2021 Live Events, News

Storm were delighted to be asked to design, supply & install a comprehensive new lighting system for the Knight’s Kingdom Castle at Legoland, Windsor. The team at Legoland wanted to ensure that the Castle was given the wow factor it deserve’s. As one of the most impressive structures within the park. It was essential that the fixtures selected for the installation would blend well with the architecture of the castle.

It was also key that the fixtures would withstand the elements and require minimal maintenance throughout the year. Storm provided a system that was capable of being truly dynamic. A system that could be used for any occasion throughout the year from Easter, Halloween to Christmas.

Storm made sure that the newly installed Knights Kingdom Castle lighting was ready for Legoland‘s Halloween special event, Brick or Treat in October. Brick or Treat was the first time guests were able to explore the Knights Kingdom with its brand new look. The control system allows for the lighting to be fully automated. Running sequences at set times or other trigger events. Another benefit of the control system is the system can also be updated remotely giving full flexibility to the team at Legoland.

The upgraded lighting system gives a whole new dynamic to the Knights Kingdom Castle. It offers the opportunity to do more exciting events throughout the year within the Castle grounds.

For more information about installation & sales please contact our team here to discuss your project.
