National Theater of Japan upgrades its comms with Riedel’s Intercom Systems

The National Theater of Japan in Tokyo is using the Bolero wireless and artist wired intercom systems of Riedel Communications across its two performance halls – a 1610-seat theater and a smaller 590-seat theater, to enable flexible communications with crystal-clear audio quality. Staff across the theater’s technical department relies on the Riedel system to support the production of a wide range of traditional theatrical and musical performances.

Two artist systems with integrated Bolero wireless intercoms ensure reliable communications in both halls, connecting technical staff with their master control rooms (MCRs). By choosing Bolero for its wireless intercom, the theater was able to reduce the number of antennas required, as well as the time and cost required to install them. The cost savings allowed for investment in an additional three beltpack units, for a total of 13. By choosing a flexible and scalable solution based on Riedel’s flagship intercom systems, the National Theater of Japan has effectively streamlined and future-proofed its production processes.
