Leek, The Netherlands (14 April 2025) – "Elisabeth the Musical" returns to Dutch theaters in a breathtaking new adaptation, featuring a stunning visual experience enhanced by ROE Visual's Topaz LED screen. Events Light, a leading provider of theater production technology, has invested in this cutting-edge LED solution to create a stunning backdrop and allow for immersive storytelling for this legendary musical.

Few historical figures have fascinated audiences, such as Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Now, 25 years after its Dutch premiere, producers Albert Verlinde, Jaco Kaasschieter, and Huub van den Heuvel bring Elisabeth back to the stage, starring international musical icon Pia Douwes and rising star Danique Dusée. The production debuts at DeLaMar Theater on 23 March, followed by a nationwide tour.

The Topaz TP2.6 LED screen plays a pivotal role in this grand production, providing dynamic visuals, immersive backdrops, and seamless integration with stage design.

Jeroen Frijters, DGA at Events Light and Technical Producer, is confident in the impact of the screen: "ROE Visual's LED screen brings unprecedented depth and realism to this production. We are certain the LED screen is a well-worth investment, as it certainly will find its way to future theatrical productions."

In Elisabeth, the LED screens form a central part of the set concept—designed as framed "paintings" that evolve throughout the production. Starting in black and white, they gradually add color to the stage, enhancing the emotional storytelling and immersing the audience in the world of the Habsburg court. Their versatility allowed for dynamic transitions between interiors, landscapes, and abstract environments while complementing physical set pieces and lighting to create a cohesive visual experience.

Set Designer Carla Janssen Höfelt remarks how working with LED technology has become second nature: "Because I design digitally, I can visualize every scene in 3D and precisely match the LED content to the set. It brings a cinematic level of detail to the stage while respecting theatrical design's craft and poetry."
