Eurovision 2022: Stage construction in Turin in full progress

• The construction of the Eurovision 2022 stage is in full progress with the workers in full steam to have everything ready by May. 

  First images of this year's Eurovision stage in the Pala Aplitour arena in Turin have gone public showing that the organisers are working around the clock in order for the stage set up to be completed on time. 

  If one phrase can describe the whole concept of the stage that is The Sun Within! The stage via which RAI ambitions to offer a spectacular Eurovision show is modern and inspired by the sun, combined with and Italian garden and the element of  water. 

  Behind the stage design is Francesca Montinaro who is widely known to the public for having innovated the concept of scenography in Italian television, having designed the scenes of the most important Italian television broadcasts.

  The first images of the stage under construction show that delegations and fans will witness an impressive stage that will contribute to a spectacular show in Turin. 

  

   Another image share on the socail media shows the big LED screen located on the backdrop of the stage: 

  

  Back in February when the stage design was unveiled the designer Francesca Montinaro had explained the story behind the whole concept: 

  For the concept, the designer was inspired partly by the Italian character:

  "The kinetic sun, source of spectacular movements and tricks of light, rules the stage and represents our Italian attitude: always on the move, rebellious, creative, welcoming, passionate, intuitive. We are the ones with the sun within, and this is our way to be in this world.'

  Taking into account the hospitality of the Italian people and the objective of welcoming the delegations across the continent she say: 

  'The cascade of water that frames the stage, allegorically represents the sea that surrounds us, a symbol of our complex culture. The stage is our peninsula: a country where each contestant is welcomed, no matter where they are coming from.'

  And she concludes by saying about the scenery she is setting up for the delegations: 

  'The artists and their teams will be hosted in a lush Italian garden, where vegetation mingles with rays of light, suspended between reality and illusion, transporting them to a playful and architectural dimension.'

   

  Turin is getting ready to welcome delegations and fans from across the continent and Australia with preparation by RAI and EBU in full swing in order to put the basis for a spectacular 2022 Eurovision Song Contest. 

  

  The 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest is set to take place at Pala Olimpico in Turin, wth the two semi-finals taking place on May 10 and 12 and the Grand final show on May 14, 2022. This will be the third time that Italy hosts the contest (having previously hosted the 1965 edition in Naples and the 1991 edition in Rome),The three live shows will be hosted by Italian television presenter Alessandro Cattelan, singer Laura Pausini and Lebanese-British singer Mika.
