Opera North\u2019s recent season hit all the high notes of thrilling drama, powerful arias, and the moving moments expected during an opera performance. But they also made a new impact beyond the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opera North<\/a>, a national opera company based in Leeds, United Kingdom, performed its first fully sustainable season in an ambitious undertaking guided by the Theatre Green Book<\/a>. With a collaboration between Buro Happold and a wide swath of the UK theatre community, the Theatre Green Book\u2019s three volumes provide new goals, guidance, and sustainability standards for theatre productions, buildings, and operations. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Opera North\u2019s \u201cGreen Season,\u201d all three operas\u2014Falstaff<\/em>, La Rondine<\/em>, and Masque of Might<\/em>\u2014shared scenic elements with a focus on reducing material use and creating new designs that were both distinctive and a similar aesthetic for continuity. All sets, props, and costumes were sourced from previous productions to adapt for reuse or purchased second-hand. Everything was brought to life in a reimagined and sustainable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to take this ambitious next step for sustainability by creating our first fully Green Season of three operas,\u201d says Richard Ashton, Operations Director, Opera North. \u201cThe result was an incredible season of productions for our audiences with a reduced impact on the planet and many learnings for our continued journey to a more sustainable future for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovering Past Sets to Inspire New Designs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OC Theatrical<\/a> is a consultancy based in the UK specializing in theatre and events. Owner and founder Oli Cooper has worked on a vast array of drafting and engineering projects over his long career, ranging from the National Theatre in London to touring productions of Hamilton<\/em>, Six: The Musical<\/em>, and many more. But helping to create a completely \u201cgreen\u201d set design was a first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince everything was a recovery from another show or a secondhand purchase, it was particularly challenging on the drafting side,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cNormally I would be given a project, pick materials suitable to the construction of the object, and work out how and where to cut or weld.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was understood that there wouldn\u2019t be massive, unique set structures. A core goal of the three-show season was to use the same set pieces but reimagine them with different configurations for each show. By reusing existing sets from their warehouse and sourcing existing materials, a new level of sustainability was reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process itself started like any other typical show where Cooper received a 1:25 scale model from the designer. The designer went around Opera North\u2019s storage to see what pieces were existing, and he provided recommendations to be sure and include. \u201cIt was up to us to come up with solutions to create that vision,\u201d Cooper says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drafting Scenic Elements With AutoCAD for Sustainable Set Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cooper visited Leeds and did several visits of Opera North\u2019s warehouse space and storage to see what scenic pieces had been put aside and saved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the beams of the structure, we found material going to scrap and were able to purchase it,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cThe rest of the structure was used from materials in storage. I measured and surveyed pieces that would potentially work and then generated a 3D model in AutoCAD. From that, we could piece together the structure like LEGO and add in the components that were already existing and on hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For other set pieces, some reference drawings were on hand and could be easily reimagined in AutoCAD<\/a>. One of these set pieces included 20-foot high, period window frames that were originally static, but then transformed with a different truck base to wheel it on and off the stage. \u201cWe were able to take the original drawings in AutoCAD and modify the bases and braces by simply adding them on,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cIt was a far more efficient process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the show-stopping scenes in Falstaff<\/em> featured an enormous throne covered with deer antlers. The chair was modified from a previous show and the antlers were obtained from recovery in local parks. After the season ended, they were put in storage for reuse in future productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking on the \u2018Green Season\u2019 for Opera North brought an entirely new way of thinking about fabrication, appreciating reuse, and approaching the drafting process,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cIn the end, I delivered 110 drawings for 14 different elements, and it only would have been possible with AutoCAD.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOne of the most important parts of AutoCAD is its flexibility. You don\u2019t always need to necessarily know what you\u2019re drawing before you draw it. You can add, remove, and carve away. It\u2019s far more organic and dynamic than other software and gives you more flexibility.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nOli Cooper, Owner and Founder, OC Theatrical<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Communicating and Collaborating With AutoCAD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The documentation for the design and fabrication of Opera North\u2019s season was both in DWG and PDF formats. Everyone was encouraged to view PDFs on tablets to save paper and keep in the green theme. These drawings were crucial for coordination, but the collaboration and communication extended far beyond a final set of drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShared Views<\/a> in AutoCAD is important in all the work with my clients,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cIt allows me to put things in 3D and anyone can go through the design. It\u2019s so simple.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the biggest parts of my job is communication,\u201d he continues. \u201cI\u2019m there to communicate ideas and many of my stakeholders are very creative, visual people. Having that ability to do it in 3D with AutoCAD with different levels of details is important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooper also often uses AutoCAD on the web and on mobile for markups, quick sketches on site, or to review designs with a stakeholder. \u201cIf I\u2019m just doing a survey of an area or need to draw something simple, I have my MacBook with me and I can just quickly knock it out then and there with AutoCAD on the web<\/a>,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cIt\u2019s a powerful tool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Cooper, AutoCAD is a critical component to his success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re in a specialized field, it\u2019s really hard to find a program that does everything,\u201d he says. \u201cI love how much you can customize with AutoCAD. I have many plugins that enable me to do what I do because it\u2019s a base that you can add to. It\u2019s like a pizza with anything you want to add and make it your own.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
