Stage lighting is the craft of lighting as it applies to the production of theater, dance, opera, and other performance arts. [1] Several different types of stage lighting instruments are used in this discipline. [2] In addition to basic lighting, modern stage lighting can also include special effects, such as lasers and fog machines.
Stage lighting instruments (lanterns, or luminaires in Europe) are used in stage lighting to illuminate theatrical productions, concerts, and other performances taking place in live performance venues. They are also used to light television studios and sound stages. Many stagecraft terms vary between the United States and the United Kingdom.
