Hey guys I'm the Itaú officer who won a pair of Espaço Itaú tickets! It was such an incredible experience. I was in front row and has the time of my life! There were several fans around me and we sang our hearts out during every song, it was kinda funny because they even moaned in Erotica and I did not because I'm so shy lol. I feel like I made eye contact with M everytime she came close to me especially when she sang Express Yourself right in front of me. I feel like I'm reborn. Best night ever

Honestly. We are so lucky to live in her timeline. I feel like it's one of my greatest blessings to have witnessed this from the beginning. This woman is beyond. We are talking about an all time figure here. Not just a pop music icon a mythical powerful influence on the world that will be studied and revered forever, long after we are all gone....and we got to witness is all, live it in REAL TIME. Such a blessing. I know I sound extra as fuck but it really is something completely intangible. The

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.

Daniel Moncada in FB

Update : We  made a reservation and 30 spots  will be available only  . Several  spots are taken already but there are still available so if you want to join , confirm me or Daniel Moncada via DM & we'll add you to the guest list and send a WhatsApp link so we are all in the loop. 
The meet up will happen at a bar with direct view to the stage so very close to rehearsals. 

Fans Meetup in Rio 👑🇧🇷👑🇧🇷👑 
So, I'm flying to Brazil in a couple of days and speaking with Daniel Moncada a very cool Brazilian fan I met in Lisbon we thought of organizing a meet up at a bar terrace right  by Copacabana beach the evening before the show. The place is incredible , the vibe is the best and we will be seeing the last touches done to the  stage while having fun,  listening to Madonna music , having some drinks. No minimum consumption. You pay for whatever you order plus tips (usually 10% to 13% in Rio)------  Who's in? 
Send any of us a DM to confirm attendance .  See you in Rio 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I have a question. Does anyone know if the company that is setting up the stage for Madonna's presentation in Brazil is the same one that has done it for the entire tour or is it a Brazilian company that is in charge of it?

it's a Brazilian production company who's setting up the "shell" of the stage - the actual stage will be set-up by Madonna's team as always.

How unfair life is. While some have been able to see Madonna on this beautiful tour 4 or 5 times, others like me ended up with a bad taste in our mouths for not having been able to see her even once.

 

Fate, bad luck, God or the Devil. In the end I don't know who to blame for it. The only hope that still keeps me going is the possible announcement of a second part of this beautiful tour with other countries that were not included initially. And this will definitely be known after the concert in Brazil so I can only wait with the little optimism I still have left.

Back to the setlist for a moment, if we'll get - as I presume - an officil release from Mexico including Rain, in Copacabana for a worldwide audience she could perform Frozen. It's a major hit, the performance works very well and with Express Yourself and Music, if true, her major hits are all in.
