Leipzig Opera's Technical Cabinet houses over 300 pieces of historical lighting equipment from almost 150 years of theater history. Initially founded in 1984 as a training cabinet for stagehands and lighting technicians, the technical cabinet is now a place for collecting and preserving. Spotlights, signal boxes and color changers that have been found in numerous German theaters over the years are lovingly restored and cared for, their historical backgrounds researched and processed. In addition, the cabinet has extensive archive and documentation material, which is used to systematically catalog the exhibits and is being digitized step by step.
