Solotech – A History With Newcastle Theatre Royal
Continuing a long standing relationship, Solotech has completed the latest audio upgrades at Newcastle Theatre Royal including a DiGiCo Quantum 225 digital console.
Before Christmas we caught up with Stuart Middleton, Sound #1 at the Theatre Royal Newcastle. After starting out in TV, Stuart joined the theatre ‘by mistake’ twenty-four years ago. Since then, he’s loved every minute and most recently ran sound on the annual pantomime, Pinocchio, an amazing show with West End production values.
The audio is a huge part of this and in his near quarter of a century in the theatre Stuart has been a key driver in how the system has evolved. In this video he breaks down how Solotech have worked with him over the last sixteen years, upgrading the PA while at the same time ensuring that the architecture and décor of the beautiful Victorian building has been sensitively retained.
