Description:
The lighting at the Royal Danish Theatre (Det Kongelige Teater) in Copenhagen in 1740 is concentrated in the downstage main acting area which is lit by overhead hoop candle chandeliers and footlights. It is evident that the audience is in relative darkness. Note the members of the audience on the stage (downstage right), and the 'lighting operator' tending to the footlights
