DROWNEDMADONNA ARTICLE — Madonna’s Celebration Tour Takes Rio by Storm: Behind the Scenes of a Monumental Show In a dazzling display of music and spectacle, Madonna’s Celebration Tour descends upon Rio de Janeiro, promising an unforgettable experience for 1.5 million eager fans. But what goes into creating such a monumental event? According to sources interviewed by O GLOBO, the entire production of the show is estimated to have cost around R$ 60 million. BUILDING THE FOUNDATION Bringing the Celebration Tour to the sands of Rio requires more than just star power; it takes meticulous planning and execution. Leo Gontijo, the setup coordinator for the Rio show, explains the main challenge: preventing sinking into the sand. To overcome this, a sturdy flooring capable of bearing the weight of a building is utilized. With a team of 200 people and 90 containers serving various functions, the groundwork is laid for a seamless operation. SOUND EXCELLENCE & CHALLENGES Another critical element for Madonna’s two-hour show is the sound system. 16 towers equipped with speakers and 15 LED screens, along with 2 contributing to the scenery, are currently being installed. To ensure seamless audio and visual transmission throughout the entire venue, fiber optic cables will connect the stage to the towers, all powered by 38 generators. Moreover, Madonna’s team faces the task of recalibrating the sound system, given her previous performances in stadiums and arenas. Sound engineer Matheus Braz elucidates that while enclosed environments facilitate sound wave reflection, the open expanse of the beach allows waves to propagate and dissipate freely. “There’s a significant amount of calculation involved in setting up a system like this. Yet, inevitably, some variables elude precise calculation,” explains Matheus. “During my time on the tour in London, I witnessed firsthand how factors like fan positioning and temperature fluctuations constantly influence the sound dynamics. It’s a fascinating aspect of the process.” PERFECTING THE VOCALS Madonna is one of the first in the industry to have a professional dedicated exclusively to vocal effects during her shows. On this tour, the goal is to make the singer's voice and pre-recorded melodies as similar as possible to the original recordings; a way to take the audience on a journey through four decades of her career. One way to ensure everything is under control is to bring the sound mixing consoles, as well as the stage set and costumes, to Brazil — all stored in 45 crates. This required three airplanes. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to rent local equipment? According to sources connected to the Celebration Tour, this decision stems from the understanding that a show operates like an ecosystem: if even the smallest element is missing, it may not work. There's no room to take that risk. WEATHERING THE ELEMENTS With an outdoor venue comes the unpredictability of weather. Production takes a proactive approach, securing a consulting contract with Climatempo to monitor weather conditions and tidal variations. This allows for necessary adjustments to be made well in advance, ensuring the show goes on rain or shine. LIVE BROADCAST EXTRAVAGANZA Prepare to be dazzled as Madonna’s monumental performance takes center stage in Copacabana, broadcasting live for fans worldwide. Hosted by Kenya Sade and Marcos Mion, this larger-than-life show will be airing on TV Globo, streaming via GloboPlay — offering free access for logged-in non-subscribers — and on Multishow. Genre director Raoni Carneiro unveils the behind-the-scenes mastery, with an impressive fleet of at least 30 cameras poised to capture every captivating moment. “With a production of this magnitude, incorporating camera angles already perfected by Madonna for screens is a natural fit,” Carneiro explains. “Our team’s precision ensures we capture every beat flawlessly, delivering an immersive experience for viewers.” As the Queen of Pop takes the stage in Rio, she continues to push the boundaries of live entertainment, leaving an indelible mark on music history.

I’m checking airfares but it’s a crazy dream so far… and a little bit nightmarish to imagine yourself among one million people, it would be more to say I was there than I saw the concert 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We aren’t comparing Kylie to Beyoncé, you asked who in her league is dominating the conversation, I responded: - Kylie (even with 3 weeks on the charts) had the gay anthem of that season… and was everywhere in social media As long a Madonna is the bar who everyone is measured against she’ll be the standard. Didn’t Courtney Love mention recently that Taylor isn’t the new Madonna, as she remains the cultural reference we will as fans desire for her to dominate the conversation

Aren’t they death? 💀 Kylie??? Padam padam???

You notice in my post that I didn’t mention that I wanted hits for Madonna, what I want great products that because of it’s greatness they dominate the conversation… Beyonce hadn’t had a hit in years, but yes she is 42 years old, so you say that Madonna can’t make an outstanding album like Reinassance because she’s 65? I don’t think that the attention she gets is atypical on the contrary it’s a well deserved attention after 40 years of excellence and outstanding work

I know babe sorry, you know I can take a joke but lately… well you know 😘😘😘

I agree with almost everything PSB make their money touring I think I’ve seen them 6 times in the last three records that’s why I think they can do what their fans ask from them I wouldn’t consider Super or Electric are typical PSB but if you feel they are that’s ok as Madonna fans we are super lucky but that’s were I differ with you we must compare to the artist of their light who are living and producing, Taylor is a kid-teen market, but Beyoncé who hadn’t had a hit in years is dominating the conversation in a way I would love Madonna to do again
