Venues

Which stage is yours?

Opera house, multi-stage theatre, museum or festival: signage42 knows the daily life of each of these houses. Built for the room where the evening is played, not for an office lobby.

Opera house: cast at the hall door, the week in the foyer

Tonight’s performance with cast at the hall door, the week in the foyer, surtitle languages and running time for an international audience.

  • Portrait entrance panel: title, time, composer, running time, surtitle languages, cast.
  • German and English on the same screen, each zone in its own language.
  • Interval notice with the time the performance resumes, raised by front-of-house or by the cue system.
  • Production sponsors next to the house sponsors, weighted by tier.
A gilded horseshoe auditorium at half light, empty before the doors open, with a small admission panel recessed beside the parterre door.

Multi-stage theatre: one design for every hall door

Main Hall, Studio Theatre, Studio: a single design hangs at every hall door and shows the right performance there. One layout, published once.

  • Screens are bound to their stage; the layout resolves per location.
  • Rules per stage: “from ninety minutes before curtain, the entrance panel”, for every performance on that stage.
  • A delay on one stage without the others hearing of it.
  • Cancellations clear their own content away.
Four identical portrait panels receding down a corridor, one at the door of each hall, each showing its own performance.

Museum: exhibitions, wayfinding, opening hours

Temporary exhibitions, wayfinding, opening hours, house rules: everything a house shows that is not a performance, with the same authoring system, the same preview, the same approvals.

  • Media library for images, video, PDF and live web pages, in folders, with versions.
  • Campaigns with a start and an end that take over a screen for a period and release it afterwards.
  • A museum wing as its own workspace within the house, with its own approval rule.
  • An emergency notice for the whole building, kept ready on every screen.
A white-walled exhibition corridor in the museum wing, with a large screen promoting a temporary exhibition.

Festival: three venues, one system

Three venues, one season, one system. A festival with several houses runs as one installation, with real separation between the houses.

  • Houses and workspaces with their own roles and approvals.
  • An outside agency sees exactly the folders you grant.
  • Screens pair in under a minute: read the code, claim it in the admin, done.
  • On your own hardware, in a data centre, or hosted, whatever suits the festival.

In every house

Opera or museum: every house gets this

  • Your programme stays where it is

    signage42 reads it from the system you already run. Nobody maintains the season a second time.

  • Plays without the network

    Every screen keeps what it needs. An outage in an old building is invisible in the foyer.

  • German and English

    Layouts, interface, error messages and the programme itself.

  • Nothing reaches glass by accident

    Four-eyes review where you want it, and a record of everything.

Your house fits none of these categories? All the better. Show it to us.
