The Stage

[MyHeartIsYours]

It looks very impressive I must say... although from the overhead shot it looks like it takes up just short of half of the Globe

That's my concern, the stage can be so big that the arena will look too small.

Ooh, I'm liking these photos. Wasn't entirely sure about the back LED screen being split into multiple parts, but when there are bright lights on there it looks better than expected. I guess it's similar to the 2014 triangle-scaffolding thing, which I didn't mind by the time the contest rolled around. Looking forward to seeing how they work with rehearsals!

Also, for some guesses as to the 'puppets on strings' - either Israel is using them for the 'stars', or San Marino is bringing their Serhat-puppet from the first music video and integrating that into a dance routine. Please be the latter! I'm imaging a hundred Serhat puppets dancing in sync...

Hosts rehearsals starting already! Eurovision is really nearly upon us!

i wonder if the upper furnitures are moving. They seem quite high to be noticed by anyone

I think they are, in earlier pictures and rendered previews they were not that high

 

[GlamSIMorous]

The scoreboard looks nice, modern, simple. Like that! However it really seems like they will announce 16 votes immediately and the Top 10 slowly?

Looks like we're getting props back after the surprising lack of them last year. Really excited about the performances now

 

[DanielLuis]

Cool, I was hoping the Belgian dancers would appear as in the NF

 

[Fluke]

The twin drumsets are UK for sure, the caged one could be Cyprus maybe?

Yeah, the cage one made me immediately think of Cyprus

 

[QwaarJet]

Probably. It's also very similar to the performance of Outrigger in MF 2014.

I think the disco balls are for Belgium, owing to it's funk nature.

Holy ... I just noticed that there is only one week till rehearsals.
Let's enjoy the calm before the storm

Yeah, I'm also going to say Cyprus for the caged drums. It's the only song coming to mind that'd really fit them, and it does have that same kind of schlager-rock feel as Outrigger's 2014 MF entry.

As for the big glass pane - perhaps it's for the glass enclosure for Norway's dancer (assuming they keep close to their NF staging as per usual) and isn't yet fully built?

Are we going to get a proper video of the stage in action I wonder?
