Time proved to be a challenge to creating a warm and welcoming environment for a gala marking the completion of the latest Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative in London, as multi-award winning lighting designer Herrick Goldman discovered.
Asked by Bounce Event Management to light the ceremony at the Royal Opera House's Paul Hamlyn Hall, Goldman confronted numerous challenges:
The prestigious, biennial Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative is an international philanthropic program that seeks out highly-talented young artists and brings them together with masters in the fields of dance, literature, film, music, visual arts and theater for a year-long, one-to-one mentoring relationship. Paul Hamlyn Hall is the newly refurbished atrium adjacent to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Formerly known as Floral Hall, it was designed after the previous theater of the Royal Opera House was destroyed by fire in 1857. The stunning glass and cast iron structure was heavily influenced by the Crystal Palace, the centerpiece of London's Great Exhibition of 1851.
