115 Ayrton Rivale Profile for Cinderella

1
Timeless stories don’t disappear — they get reimagined. Cinderella, The Musical has arrived at Madrid’s Teatro Coliseum with a contemporary production where lighting is treated as a core storytelling tool, not just visual decoration.

With 34 performers on stage, a 20-piece live orchestra, and fast, constantly shifting choreography, the show demands a lighting system capable of keeping pace while staying precise and consistent from scene to scene. Here, lighting shapes the space, sets the rhythm, and directs attention — moment by moment.

The Lighting Approach

The backbone of the rig is 115 Ayrton Rivale Profile luminaires — LED profile fixtures with integrated framing shutters designed for high-pressure theatre environments where repeatability, accuracy, and flexibility matter. Rivale Profile is used to build the overall atmosphere and depth of the stage image, while also delivering clean, targeted focus for key dramatic moments.

Why Rivale Profile Works for This Type of Show

For a production moving between intimate dialogue and full-scale ensemble numbers, the fixtures need to transition quickly without compromising the “picture.” Rivale Profile supports that workflow with strong output, precise beam control, and dependable color consistency — keeping the visual language stable even as tempo, mood, and staging change rapidly.

A standout point is the framing performance: the light stays controlled and well-defined against complex sets and detailed costumes, helping the composition read clearly without unnecessary spill. Effects and color changes add motion and depth, but remain disciplined — supporting the narrative rather than competing with it.

Result

Cinderella, The Musical is a clear example of how modern profile fixtures can elevate theatre production values: giving lighting designers more expressive tools while staying reliable for demanding show schedules. With Ayrton Rivale Profile at the center of the system, lighting becomes one of the elements that helps this modern fairytale land with impact — on Madrid’s iconic Gran Vía.
