Italy: RAI’s decisions for Sanremo 2021!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following the ambiguous statements of the artistic director and presenter of the festival, Amadeus and the general director of RAI1, Stefano Coletta, the Italian public television clarifies that Sanremo 2021 will take place with an audience, while describing how this will happen.

In early September, Amadeus said in an interview that RAI did not have a Plan B for Sanremo 2021 and that if the pandemic did not allow the physical presence of the public on the stands of the Teatro Ariston and the members of the live orchestra, then the festival would not take place at all. Then Stefano Coletta, director of RAI1, denied Amadeus, saying that it is not possible to have a year without Sanremo, since there are big contracts with commercials and that what will happen if the festival is not possible in March, is to be postponed for later.

RAI is now clarifying that Sanremo 2021 will take place normally with an audience and even unexpectedly on the dates that have already been announced (March 2-6). The number of the audience that will be in Ariston will be decided later and those who finally manage and secure a ticket, to enter the event must have a negative test for COVID-19, while there will be thermal cameras throughout, for continuous monitoring of suspected cases.

There are many details that still need to be resolved, such as the number of accredited journalists, the arrangement of the members of the live orchestra, etc. The change of dates of Sanremo 2021 will take place only in the last case when it will not be possible for the festival to take place in March.

We remind you that on December 17, in the final night of selection of the six artists (two more will be selected by the AreaSanremo academy) of the “Giovani” category, through the frequency of RAI1 we will find out the names of the candidates in the big category. We are also waiting for the regulations of Sanremo 2021, to see if in 2021 Italy will finally choose its representative in Eurovision through the Festival or if Diodato or another artist will be re-selected, with internal selection.

RAI and the new artistic director of the Sanremo Festival, Amadeus, are in a fever pitch to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the historic music festival. As the Italian public television announced recently, the advertising time during the 5-day broadcast of the Sanremo 2020 has already been sold, for a record price of 40 million Euros!

The advertising time during the broadcasts of the 70th Sanremo Italian Song Festival costs approx. 12.000 per second! Of course the exclusive rights of Sanremo are reserved by RAI, which proves that a public television can be both competitive, commercial, and quality!

Advertising time has been sold for all five nights of the festival. RAI earns a record $ 40 million and is the most expensive television time in the country!

The Mediterranean RAI exemplifies in other similar public TVs that when you invest somewhere over time, producing a good result, then you have a program, but you also have income.

We remind you that the 20 artists of the Campioni category of the Sanremo 2020 will be announced in a special show by Amadeus on January 6th. The 70th Sanremo Song Festival will take place at Teatro Ariston in the small town of Liguria, San Remo, from February 4 to February 8, 2020.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A bomb news has been circulating in Italy for the last few hours. According to local media, the new artistic director and presenter of the Sanremo Festival, Amadeus, has approached Lady Gaga to appear as a guest at the Teatro Ariston during Sanremo 2020.

Shallow Moments at Teatro Ariston

One of the prerequisites Amadeus set for RAI to assume the role of presenter and artistic director of the Sanremo Festival was the return of international stars as guests, something Baglioni’s predecessor abolished, as he preferred only domestic guests.

After Madonna, Amadeus concludes that Lady Gaga would be the best choice, as she is at the top of her career this year.

The revelation was made by Spy magazine. The article mentions the new artistic director’s attempt to bring one of the most successful international singers and actors to the city of Liguria on the occasion of the 70th edition of the Sanremo Festival. Although he is aware that Lady Gaga is not an easily accessible name for RAI budget, it seems that Amadeus is determined at all costs to do this.

The negotiations are currently completing one of the dreams Amadeus expressed when he agreed to take over the San Remo Festival: to bring Lady Gaga to Ariston stage . The cost of the business is prohibitive for RAI funds, but the team is trying to find creative solutions …

The first names for the Campioni category

Another important piece of information mentioned in the SPY article is the first names of artists that Amadeus would like to compete in at Sanremo 2020. Some of them are Al Bano, Elettra Lamborghini and Alberto Urso.

We remind you that the nominees for the category of renowned artists at the Sanremo Festival 2020 will be revealed on January 6th. The Sanremo 2020 will take place from February 4 to February 8, 2020. Although RAI has confirmed its participation in Eurovision 2020, it has not yet revealed whether its representative will make it through the historic Liguria festival, though it seems most likely.
