As well as the powered flying system, AVW Controls was commissioned to design and manufacture the proscenium control system, consisting of a portal lighting bridge and motorised proscenium towers at the Concert Hall. An elaborate system of moveable walls and 40 tonne movable acoustic ceiling, the control for which was also designed by AVW, converts the concert hall into a full proscenium theatre for opera and drama in less than two hours. Additionally, AVW provided the control system for the house curtain, with German (up and down), Italian (swag) and Greek (sides to the middle) curtain movements, as well as the safety curtain control system.

Understage machinery consisting of two synchronised orchestra elevators and a transport elevator, as well as a system of programmable stage elevators for 12 chorus and orchestra riser areas, were designed utilising a clever doubling up of Spiralifts and traditional screwjacks. With four of the screwjack elevators used above one large Spiralift, an overall top height of four meters can be achieved from only one Spiralift system. The project caught the attention of the historic Royal Theatre, two miles away from the Concert Hall, which was being refurbished in connection with Thessalonika's status as European City of Culture 1997. Within the traditional Greek theatre, AVW Controls was commissioned to install a computerised flying system for 13 scenery bars, transport elevator, safety curtain and projection screen hoist, as well as to re-programme and re-commission some of the existing equipment.
