Two DP70 (1741+1744) with upward projection angle.
Launched 19.01.1962. The S/S France was the longest ship in
the world (316 m). 664 seats (185 on balcony). Projectors
mounted on jacks and had to be adjusted before each
performance. Passengers on maiden voyage to New York saw
premiere of new French film "La Fayette" in
70mm on 10 m screen. Wessel renamed "Norway".
Projectors taken out and installed in Todd-AO
Studios #1, Hollywood, USA.
The largest theatre afloat until the advent of the most
recent "super" ships, the FRANCE's Salle Spectacle
could seat 660 in its two levels. Of course, the Verandah
Deck balcony was for First Class and the Promenade Deck main
level was for Tourist. Structurally, not much has changed
other than the balcony extensions on either side and a
larger stage.
As NORWAY's Saga Theater, it gave birth to the show
palaces seen aboard the modern fleet of cruise ships, with
NCL's unprecedented stage productions. Saga Theatre. Seating capacity 813 (8,500 Sq Ft). An
excellent meeting/seminar location with capability for
virtually any A/V presentation. This two-story proscenium
theater also features a lavish Broadway musical and a Las
Vegas-style revue. |
