I need to create a snow effect for a scene in a musical. Is this possible to do with lights? if not how can we create such an effect? will we need to use projectors? Thanks!

Snowing onstage

Well, the Met in NY use confetti Although it is larger than normal confetti... Try and get hold of the DVD of their broadcast of Verdi's Macca. In the close ups during "Patria oppressa" you get a really good view of what they use... But then again they have HOW MANY STAGE CREW to quickly clean it up afterwards!!! But it does look very effective, especially in Act 3 of their La Boheme. You are in Sydney, yes? Ring Opera Australia and see if you can talk to one of their Tech people and see how THEY do it...
