You pay for whatever you order plus tips (usually 10% to 13% in Rio)------  Who's in?

    Red is regular one, pink was for those who bought VIP seats. A hat with blue letters is new to me. Probably for the new tour leg.

    What blue letter hat?

    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.

    Ok this is NOT gonna happen or, better, it's definitely hard this could really happen, BUT we're 5 days from the show now and, let's face it, it's the perfect moment to start being delusional everybody :kiss2:  So I'm gonna go with my first "what if": what if one or two of these not performed tracks are BRAND NEW SUMMER SONGS??? What if this final celebration show will set the start of the new June/July release already recorded??? :hearteyes:

    I think the main reason we compare is because Madonna herself has put herself in being ahead of the game and really being out there with the big players of music and entertainment and art 

    Taylor Swift, Ariana, Beyonce, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish are the ones she would want to be contender with 

    She's not concerned about peers I adore PSB saw them last summer and they were incredible but she creates her new albums to access out of hardcore fanbsse ....she knows she's got a huge audience and critics and media will latch into it Madame X imo could've been huger if for example she had a big hit to lead it ...age isn't an issue Old Town Road with Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus was COLOSSAL that year for example of a song and story hits the narrative to launch an era it could be big for the album 

    Renaissance imo is not a good album ..  it's full of concepts and is a great study in the art of dance music through black queer angle BUT without Break my Soul leading the way I doubt it would've struck a chord to build an era out of for cowboy carer to now fly 

    See where I'm getting at!? MDNA, RH, MX I do feel if orchestrated slight differently they could've been bigger in hindsight but she didn't adapt the way she could've 

    Kylie's Padam Padam at 55 years old for example hit it hard it trended it became a hit and Tension was a critical and commercial darling too her third era in a row well engineered ....now I for one find her recent albums a bit "meh" but they're decent and the aesthetics you cannot fault 

    But I just think had her recent three eras been better orchestrated I do feel she could've nailed each one different 

    Madonna shouldn't be compared to her peers her peers are her competitive rs! And she's always wanted to be ahead of whatevers out right now in the arts 

    Whaaaaaaaat? It’s an amazing album with break my soul being the least of its wonders.

    I listed some that were alive. Kylie (a decade younger than M) had a top ten hit in the UK, it was a hit almost nowhere else, and the album it was from vanished from the charts within 3 weeks. It's hardly comparable to Beyonce.

    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

    I meant it's atypical for artists of her age and longevity.

    Beyonce's albums preceding Renaissance were hits. But my point wasn't about quality (I think Madame X is brilliant) it's that absolutely no-one of Madonna's era has big albums like that. It's always been the case to an extent cos pop music is so youth-oriented but it's particularly so now streaming dominates everything. Again, look at her actual peers - whom amongst them are having big albums "dominating conversation"?

    Aren’t they death? 💀 

    Kylie??? Padam padam???
