Theatres Cape Town, Book Live Entertainment, Accommodation, Theatres at Villa Pascal Durbanville Cape Town
Villa Pascal is an intimate venue fully equipped with sound, lighting equipment, piano and an experienced resident technician
/stage manager. We provide a plug and play environment as well as technical support for presentations, seminars, conferences, small
functions and corporate events.
Villa Pascal is often complimented its excellent sound quality and is the ideal venue
for live recordings. We have done various live album recordings for artists and studios.
By combining natural venue acoustics with modern sound technology, the ceilings were removed to expose the roof trusses thereby creating depth. Special sound proofing panels were installed in between the trusses. To further absorb sound, Persian carpets and other carpets are scattered on the floors, creating a warm lounge and studio atmosphere.
The sound system was designed and customized by installing a Yamaha mixing controller, with compressors and limiters, complimented with Behringer speakers. This combination creates crystal clear sound, audible from every angle in the theatre.
