    Are we forgetting that Madonna posed with police in Rio in 2017 while she was there for Guy O's wedding. two days after Rio military police shot dead a Spanish tourist leaving the Rocinha favela?

    Soon after the image was uploaded to social media, it was posted by the official military police account of Rio de Janeiro. the photo attracted comments from many in Brazil who were unhappy. Among the replies, one said Madonna needed to "explain" the picture, another called the picture "inappropriate," and a third said the photo showed "disrespect" to Brazilians.

    She also mentioned during the Vice meets Madonna interview for secret project that when they got to South America everything got more scary and she had to ride in bomb proof cars because she was seen as a public figure and there were lots of people with guns.

    Brazil like most countries has it's own problems but like others have said approprate precautions are being taken by those organizing the event.

    yes, police brutality is a major problem in Rio and other major cities in Brazil. but so does in the US.
    that's my point!

    having said that, I'm sure the event will run smoothly and everything and everyone will be ok. so please let's focus on being optimistic and cheerful, I'm sure my brazilian people will be a great crowd.

    next topic please!

    I'm getting flashbacks to MDNA at Olympia 

    On July 17 2012, it was announced Madonna would do an "intimate one night only performance" at Paris's Olympia hall, on Thursday July 26 2012. It was described as Madonna's way "to honor her love for French artists, French cinema and a tribute to France’s long history of welcoming and inspiring artists". Tickets for the concert were first allotted to members of her official fan club on July 18, and three days later, were put on sale for the general public;

    The concert was critically panned by fans and attendees, many of whom had allegedly paid more than €280 or had slept on the street overnight to be able to purchase tickets, with most of the criticism centering on the fact that the set only lasted 45 minutes.

    Following the backlash, publicist Liz Rosenberg issued a statement saying that "[the show] was not billed as her full MDNA concert and tremendous effort was made to keep the ticket prices reasonable [...] [it] cost Madonna close to a million dollars to produce. She has done a handful of club dates in the past and they were never more than 45 minutes"

    Obviously this is a free concert but for now the fear is there, I'm sure it will all be fine

    don't need to be worried! I think that the sponsors wouldn't held a press conference and mobilize both government and private parties for a 45min concert. 

    Itaú and the other sponsors paid for the show in full and it has been said multiple times it will be "a 2 hour event" 

    relax and enjoy the show darling 💕

    As some have mentioned,  I’m wondering if this show will be completely different from the Celebration show?  Something on the line of the Live 8 shows with only five or six songs? The only reason I’m wondering this is she might want to do something completely different from the Celebration tour (as the tour might be getting so tiring for her now). New costumes etc. Nothing would surprise me.

     

    now that the official blueprint plan of the event has been leaked, we know that she'll bring the full Celebration stage.

    also, in every single ad and in the press conference the show was referenced as "The Celebration Tour" so I'm sure it will be the same concert, with maybe a few surprises for the brazilian audiences.

    According to Veja Rio’s journalists, this is actually the final map for the show. I cannot read anything but at the far right you can see that the stage is supposed to be exactly the same as the rest of the tour. I just can’t figure out where the VIP area is delimited?

    omg! I need this image in UHQ!!! this actually looks real

    There is a rumour going around that the "Itaú area" they are planning for the show will actually be reserved for 10k people. That should include the 750 clients they promised to draw plus guests, influencers and whatnots. Considering this area will be at the front and it's A LOT of people I can't even imagine how far away the "regular" audience will be from her and the catwalks.

    Anyway, don't even know if there are actual brazilians visiting this thread but it just gets more and more nerve wracking for those attending the show.

    brazilian here - I think 10k is quite a lot just for Itaú, there are other sponsors that may get a cut of a "reserved space".

    saying that... I think you need to prepare, this concert won't be a regular stadium experience, nor an arena one.
    I truly hope that you and all real fans get a good spot! but be prepared for every scenario.

  7. now that everything is 100% confirmed I can only start imagining how are they going to make the stage bigger... my stage designer brain is already thinking of a thousand variations that could be implemented by her team.

    I've sketched this test last year before the rumours of the Copacabana concert, thinking about a stadium leg.
    Here's what I did:

    • Bigger LED screens behind the stage
    • Runways are a bit more spaced between them (so more people can fit inside the pit)
    • Removal of the "flying portal" and the side projection screens

    the soul of the concert would be still there, just a few moments would need to be re-coreographed.

    We don't need to go till Perry to have an example.

    Why weren't HeartBreakCity and Love Don't Live Here Anymore performed in Macau???

    YES! thats a good question :suffer: since the concert was performed in an arena I dont see the point - but I can think of two scenarios:

    1. the metal stairs were shipped to Macau but she wasn't in the mood to perform those songs
    2. the stairs were not shipped there as a cost saving measure (which would be weird)

    I believe @migsou meant by "they" in "they had all the lifting..." the Live Nation/Madonna team. The structure was always from them. No wonder I remind of more than 12 big trucks (actual number I don't remind of tho) coming to Maracanã Stadium to make whole S&ST stage.

    yes, I agree! and @migsou is right about that - my point is about "nothing is attached to the ceilings of the arenas"

    everything is hanged from the ceiling on the Celebration Tour except the main stage and runways - in the S&S stage they were able to fit the hanged portion of the light fixtures and rounded LED screens because the runway was not super long, which is very different this time.

    so that's why everything that's off of the main stage (in terms of hanged fixtures) probably won't make it to Rio. one good example is Katy's Witness Tour in Latin America - they had a different version of the main LED screen, but all props were there, with the exception of.... everything that was hanged from the ceiling of the arenas in the US/Europe leg.

    also: in no shape or form this will impact the experience of the show, I'm sure M will be radiant and concert will be an amazing achievement in her carreer and also for us brazilians :heart: just giving you my honest professional opinion (which could be also very wrong)

    rain on MY parade? at what point did i say they were going to build the same structure this time?

    i'm pretty sure it can. the stage is an independent structure, nothing is attached to the ceilings of the arenas. when the s&s and mdna tours were presented in stadiums (outdoors) in brazil they had all the lifting structures.

    er.... here? :salty:

    sorry to rain on your parade, but... since (as far as we know) its just a one-night-only concert in this format (open air/stadium), it would be too costly to built a structure like the one holding the disco ball up in the Confessions stadium shows for just one concert.

    I'm a stage designer so my best guess is that the stage will remain the same except from the side projection screens and the portal/flying rig - so everything in the main stage will be kept as is, the same goes for the runways, including the Bedtime Story cube.

    but... we shall see :Madonna021:
