‘Domaine d’O’ Chooses Amadeus and HOLOPHONIX
Amadeus and HOLOPHONIX installed a flexible, spatial sound system at the ‘Amphitheater d’O’ open-air theater offering the 1800-seat audience an equally exciting sonic experience
Amadeus and HOLOPHONIX were chosen to design and install a new sound system for the Amphitheater d’O, part of the Domaine d’O – a multidisciplinary arts and entertainment complex in Montpellier, South of France. Because the open-air theater accommodates up to 1,800 people in a semi-circle of nearly 180 degrees, this presented an electroacoustic challenge for audience coverage and directivity control.
The Amphitheater d’O hosts four major festivals during the spring and summer seasons, including Le Printemps des Comédiens (a theater festival held throughout June), Folies d’O (a musical theater festival held in early July), and the Radio France Occitanie Festival (a music festival held throughout the month of July).
