In another visit to The Music Hall, I wanted to be sure to capture the pure grandeur of the historic theatre. Inside the theatre itself – there is rich color and eye candy to be seen everywhere. From the reds and natural wood color of the seats and the stairwells to the soft pastels of the wonderfully restored turn of the century painted ceiling, to the gilding and the gorgeous proscenium. It’s a perfect setting for entertainment of all kinds, from live music to high quality films (or film festivals including the upcoming Telluride By The Sea or the 10th Annual New Hampshire Film Festival), to internationally recognized speakers and writers.
The Founder’s Lobby (as seen below) is a very cool place as well, very avant garde and very rich in color and unlike any other room you’ll come across in Portsmouth. I’ll let the room speak for itself….and share more details in the future. The room definitely commands a presence…and the minute details at every corner add to the interestingness of the place.
I could spend days shooting different angles of the wonderful details of the ceiling, the proscenium, the chairs, etc. etc. With limited time, I had to go with the most obvious and my most desired shots – the wonderful expanse of the seats and the ceiling. I can only imagine how awesome it feels to step out onto this stage with an audience full of admirers enjoying a performance.
