Opus – German Stage Award 2012

Bertil Mark to receive the Opus for lighting the ‘Letzte leise Reise’ tour of ‘Sportfreunde Stiller’ indie-rock band

Be it stage productions at theatres or festivals, rock concerts or major festivities, many events need the right sound, perfect lighting or suitable media technology to be a complete success. Messe Frankfurt has been honouring theatre, opera, classical, rock and pop productions with Opus – German Stage Award – since 2002.

The awards ceremony will take place during the Inter­national Fair of Technologies and Services for Events and Entertain­ment in Hall 6.0 of Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre at 18.30 hrs on 21 March 2012.

Nowadays, stage productions involve more than just the use of a traditional theatre stage. And, through the choice of award winners and their projects, Opus – German Stage Award – reflects the wide variety of different stage productions. No matter whether in the theatre, on festival stages, at rock concerts, television shows or major festivals, a variety of disciplines must mesh to create a perfect event. The right sound, perfect lighting and optimum media tech­nology is essential if an event is to be a complete success.

Shown in the right light

This year’s Opus – German Stage Award – goes to Bertil Mark in the Lighting Design category. He has been chosen for his work on the ‘Letzte leise Reise’ tour of the ‘Sportfreunde Stiller’ indie-rock band. The jury was particularly impressed by lighting design for the band’s tour with its refreshing lighting, video and stage design.

Bertil Mark is an all-rounder in the music sector and works with many bands as a musician, producer and composer. Another field of activity is lighting and show design in the live sector.
