Concert — Otepää

Most concert halls in Otepää are not concert halls. They are ski lodges with a clearing, hotel ballrooms with a low ceiling, or sports centres where the floor was poured for something else entirely. Every one of them fights the sound in a different way.

The ceiling height decides the PA hang. The power supply decides whether you bring in a generator. The load-in route — through a service corridor, down a flight of stairs, across gravel in January — decides the call time. By the time the first ticket sells, the room has already made half your decisions.
