Eurovision 2022: Stage Construction to Start on March 15!

As we previously informed you, Rai unveiled the first designs of the stage for Eurovision Song Contest 2022!

Construction of the stage in the PalaOlimpico, in Turin, is due to start on March 15, almost a full 8 weeks ahead of the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. No date for completion has been published at this time.  In the past, the process of stage construction has taken 3-4 weeks.

Last year in 2021 stage construction began on April 11 and was completed by the end of April around three weeks later. 2022 will be one of the earliest start dates for stage construction to start, a factor that could potentially be due to the complex design of the stage for 2022, which included moving LEDs and a water feature.

The concept behind the design is called “The Sun Within” which relies on movements and light of a kinetic sun. The stage is able “to showcase theatrical motion, which is framed by water and will have a lush Italian garden lapping up the rays in front of it”.

 

The creative mind behind the design is Francesca Montinaro, who has also created the stages of Sanremo Music Festival two times (2013 and 2019).

The Eurovision Song Contest returns to Italy this year following Måneskin’s victory at the 2021 contest with their song “Zitti e Buoni”. The 2022 contest will be hosted on 10th, 12th, and 14th May at the PalaOlimpico in Turin.

Laura Pausini: “I would love to participate in Eurovision Song Contest”!

The great star of modern Italian music, Laura Pausini, revealed in a recent interview with elespanol, that she would very much like to participate in Eurovision representing Italy and that in fact RAI proposed to her a few years ago, but due to a world tour she was forced to refuse!

Shortly after her second victory at the Spanish The Voice, where she has been coaching in recent years, Laura Pausini talked about her career, television, and the Eurovision Song Contest.

Spain, is her second home, as it is the country that has experienced, if not more, as much success as in her birthplace Italy. Almost all of her albums are released in Spanish, but even her Italian songs manage to reach the top of the charts. But let’s see what exactly she said about Eurovision, because it really matters.

Currently in Italy, the Eurovision representative is the winner of San Remo, a festival you won in the young talent category. Have you ever considered going to Eurovision at some point in your career?

When I won, Eurovision was not known in Italy and it was a shame because I would love to participate at that time. A few years ago I was asked to participate, but I could not because I was on a world tour.

Italy, after returning to the contest in 2011, chooses its representative every year through the Sanremo festival. Either through the category of young artists, or with general criteria from the big category, or simply by giving this right to the winner. The only year that RAI chose by internal selection was in 2014. In the same year, Laura Pausini indeed made her seventh world tour, entitled The Greatest Hits World Tour. For the history, Italy was finally represented by Emma, ​​with La Mia Citta, finally occupying the 21st place, the worst place in its history.
