| The ornate but flammable timber panelling of the cathedral's choir stalls benefited from fibre-optic lighting's heat and UV-free qualities, 60 miniature downlights, finished in antique bronze to complement the dark hardwood panelling, were powered by just four Spectralux 6000 light sources. Notorious for its lack of backstage space, with no wings, and a choir stall behind the backdrop--the RFH is, after all, a concert hall--the location posed the same physical, mechanical challenges that English National Ballet faced each Christmas before its move to the Coliseum. While the costly architecture, chancel decorations, and choir stalls of the fifteenth-century convent of San Zaccaria were commissioned with the assistance of male agents, partially funded with contributions from male civic authorities, enhanced by other private donations (both male and female), and overseen by male supervisors, I will argue that the nuns saw these spaces and their adornment as their special province and even canvas. |
