Through 2024, Hålogaland Teater produced 15 theatre productions, exceeding 500 performances in their own theatre and on tour, also counting visiting performances and co-productions. In total, the theatre exceeded 60 000 audience members in 2024.
The theatre is equipped with two stages, (“Scene Vest” and “Scene Øst”, a café stage and a rehearsal hall).
Project background: The current stage machinery system was installed in 2005, with incremental upgrades over the past 20 years. To ensure compliance with NS-EN 17206 and to meet future operational needs, the theatre will undertake a comprehensive refurbishment in spring 2027. The work will involve replacing the control system for both stages, assessing which components can be reused, and potentially adding new axes or upgrading existing ones to enhance performance capabilities.
Current stage machinery system: The current installation consists of:
- Scene Vest:
- 62 axes of upper machinery
- 3 axes of lower machinery (1 x revolve with 2 x outside rings)
- Scene Øst:
- 24 axes of upper machinery
In total: 89 axes[A1] The theatre will upgrade its machinery installation. The upgrade aims to ensure compliance to NS-EN 17206 and includes:
- Replacement of the control system for both stages.
- Assessment and potential reuse of existing components.
- Potential upgrade or addition of new axes to the existing system
The selected contractor will be responsible for delivering a new control system that meets all requirements of NS-EN 17206. This will include replacing control desks[A2] , variable frequency drives, axis controllers, computers, sensors, and other necessary components.
The earliest possible commencement date for on-site works is 27 April 2027. The installation shall be handed over to the Contracting Authority no later than 13 August 2027. However, it is desirable that the project is completed and handed over no later than 30 June 2027.
