The Adelaide Festival Centre was Australia’s first multi-purpose arts centre, built between 1970 - 1973 and is one of Australia’s most active theatrical producers, presenting a wide range of arts activities and performances for the local community as well as interstate and international visitors. The Adelaide Festival Centre Trust (AFCT) is responsible for the technical management of the Theatres within the Adelaide Festival Centre. As part of the larger Adelaide Festival Centre Precinct Project, $11.122 million has been granted to Arts SA for the procurement of technical equipment at The Adelaide Festival Theatre (Festival Theatre), the Dunstan Playhouse (the Playhouse) and the Space Theatre (the Space).

The Festival Theatre currently has 26 year old 2KW Xenon Follow Spots. The xenon lamps are no longer manufactured and the follow spots are not bright enough to meet the demands and requirements of large Opera’s and Touring Musicals. The Robert Juliat follow spot is the preferred option for the visiting companies that have performed at the Adelaide Festival Centre in recent years. They have superior optics and use 2.5KW HMI lamps making them extremely bright. Replacements for the 2.5KW HMI lamps are also readily available in Australia. The Adelaide Festival Centre is looking to purchase four follow spots, three of which will replace the current Xenon Follow Spots and the fourth is to meet the regular requirement for another Follow Spot that is requested by the Australian Ballet and other companies.
