Curtain System – Horizontal

The Main Curtain serves as a crucial divider, both visually and acoustically, separating the audience from the stage. More than just a barrier, it significantly enhances the aesthetic of the venue and acts as a central focal point for the audience in anticipation of a performance. Typically, this curtain is suspended froma track system, allowing it to open horizontally from the center outwards.
