Today I was in “Olimpiyskiy” and watched the preparation process.
I was filled with admiration! It’s unreal! I couldn’t even imagine that a sports complex could change so strikingly.

When we had “Star Factory” concert here, half of the hall was closed.
Now that you see the entire space with all those metal construction and the stage you could imagine what a great show awaits all its fans!
Our “Olimpiyskiy” is the largest roofed stage where Eurovison has ever taken place.

There’s so much light equipment and kilometers of wires and cables!
The light show will require electricity enough to supply the whole town of Zelenograd.
The stage is almost constructed.
It is huge and takes half of the stalls area.
The stage will be mobile and every element of the scenery will be flexible.
Just above the stage there is a circle of huge plasma panels of about 2.5 thousand sq. meters. There are panels placed vertically in the circle as well.

I found out that these panels are unique: they are recent developments with terrific resolution. They arrived to Moscow from all over the world to become a part of Eurovision Song Contest.
The colour and video in these panels will be permanently changing while the picture will be on both the inner and outer sides of the circle.
Fabulous video effects are also on the lists. The panels will move, shift and fall to several parts.
It is said, that no show has ever had anything similar. And even half of the stage is also a huge plasma panel! It’s really impressive!

I’d love to see it all working during performance! It’s fascinating!
