Ayrton Cobra lights up Baglioni's "a TUTTOCUORE" tour
A large consignment of Ayrton Cobra laser‐sourced fixtures accompanied the hugely successful "a TUTTOCUORE" tour from Italian singer‐ songwriter and musician Claudio Baglioni, which started on Sept. 21, 2023 from the Foro Italico in Rome and continues throughout Italy until February 2024. The high‐level Rock‐ Opera is presented in three huge spatial dimensions, extending its reach horizontally, vertically and in depth.
Illuminating this grand event is lighting designer and DOP, Ivan Pierri, with as many as 450 lighting fixtures, including 108 of the very powerful, laser sourced Ayrton Cobra supplied by Italian rental company, Agora. Cobra is a unique versatile fixture that incorporates all the waterproof features while remaining easily accessible and light weight.
"I chose Ayrton because of the excellent quality of the product. It is a versatile beam that also performs as a spot, and is very strong on colours. Plus, it is IP65, a key feature for an outdoor tour," says Pierri. "The Cobras were basically placed to frame the stage and to backlight the performers. Definitely the most valuable weapon at our disposal to create a three‐dimensional setting to serve the performer on stage.”
"In terms of concept development, this is not a classic tour. There were 100 performers on stage including dancers and other artists. The challenge was to proceed in parallel with two different levels of language, theatrical and musical, trying to integrate and amalgamate them. The lighting design had to open up spaces and expand the boundaries of the stage to embrace the audience,” he explains.
