They must decorate any performance with lighting effects, taking into account the many nuances in the work.

A professional holiday is dedicated to such specialists in the Russian Federation.

When is it celebrated?

Light Artist Day is celebrated in Russia annually on July 11th. However, this holiday is not official, therefore in 2019 thematic celebrations are not held in the country.

history of the holiday

On July 11, 1874, electrical engineer and inventor A. Lodygin patented the incandescent light bulb he invented. It was this date that became Light Artist Day.

About the profession

The profession of a lighting artist (light operator) requires not only theoretical knowledge of light theory and aesthetic taste, but also the application of lighting principles. Such a specialist must know how lighting devices and control panels work, and also be able to program lighting patterns of varying complexity.

Currently, the profession of a lighting designer is becoming increasingly widespread, helping to create coziness in the home and selecting lighting that suits the character of the apartment owner.

Lighting designers work everywhere: radio, television, various show programs, theaters, circuses, stadiums. They work in the Palaces of Culture of small villages and in large international arenas.

Peter I was the ancestor light show, using “funny lights” as fiery fun.

For the first time, A. Lodygin’s invention was used to illuminate streets in St. Petersburg. This caused delight among the townspeople and is considered the first light show in which not only “funny lights” were used.

Composer A. Scriabin was the first to think about combining music and light. In 1910, during symphonic poem"Prometheus", he was the first to use light music, adding a light keyboard part.

3 years later, during the production of A. Schoenberg’s opera “ lucky hand» spotlights were added.

Day and night

To the world of mysterious spirits,
Over this nameless abyss,
A gold-woven cover is thrown over
By high will gods.
Day - this brilliant cover -
Day, earthly revival,
Healing for sick souls,
Friend of men and gods!
But the day fades - night has come;
She came - and from the world of fate
Fabric of blessed cover,
Having torn it off, it throws it away...
And the abyss is laid bare to us
With your fears and darkness,
And there are no barriers between her and us -
This is why the night is scary for us!
