There will always be people every year complaining about how they "hate" the stage. But REAL eurovision fans appreciate the show, the artist, the songs before judging trivial things. Well done UK and Ukraine, this looks amazing!
Yes it's not a huge stage but it's not small either. I would say the actual performance area is similar size to Turin and Rotterdam! It's a high quality stage and looks stunning.
The stage still feels a bit tight like it seemed in the preview, but seeing it in-person makes it very impressive for me. I do think that those little compartments to the side weren’t necessary, but it is what it is.
@@hmniam5827 It was much better than what we'd seen before and surely much, much better than what we're gonna see this year. I mean: we haven't even started!!!
I think its just the angles making it small,look at construction images of the stage and it looks perfectly fine which can accomodate a decently big amount of people.
The size of staging doesn't matter at all! Remember 2016 or 2021 was a pretty small staging but delegations with great performances and songs made it one of the best ESCs (and the stages were creative and versatile). Huge stages like 2009 or 2014 were incredible but also huge stages like 2017 or 2001 weren't good ones imo so it doesn't mean anything
The more compact and efficient the stage, the fewer the theatrics and charade of the show, and the more focus on the actual entries; this ought to be one of the best
The floor is reflective, as it has over 700 video tiles integrated into the floor. During the performance, when they are in operation, the reflection is not a problem.
@@mrmr4622 Yes but only because of special camera techniques they used to make the arena look bigger on tv. I was in the arena in 2019 and it looked nothing like it in real life as on tv. the stage and the audience looked cramped together but somehow they managed to create the illusion of a bigger size. if they don't use that technique for 2023 which seems to be the case in this video than it will look small on tv.
@@DimitrisSartzetakis It's more like Ahoy Rotterdam or Malmö Arena but the way they build the stage and the size of the greenroom takes too much space.
@@ZakhadWOW Stockholm just used a nice trick with the LEDs. If you cover them with some special glass they look way higher resolution than what they actually are
Meni se ne sviđa stage. Delimično zbog toga što mislim da se Lukin nastup neće uklopiti zbog ovog "ostrva", iliti ovaj stage napred - krug. Ovaj veliki screen je odličan i ide u korist Lukinom nastupu, ali ovo ostrvo napred se previše ističe. Luka bi trebalo da se ističe na stage-u ali ovo ostrvo smeta i publika neće moći da vidi nastup kako treba. Jeste ESC više prilagođeno televiziji i Lukin nastup će se primetiti, ali ovo ostrvo bode oči i ističe se previše. Estetski je jako loše urađen stage. Stage iza sa screenovima je odličan i još da je malo veći bi bio savršen, ali ovo ostrvo je veliki promašaj. Razumem da će za solo nastupe biti dobar i dobra je ideja, ali se moglo bolje odraditi to ostrvo. Shvatam da će Luka prilagoditi nastup ovom stage-u, ali mislim da to neće biti to zbog ovog ostrva. Videćemo... Stvarno bih voleo da sve bude kako treba.
How small is this ? Don‘t they have bigger arenas in UK? I mean look at how big the arena was 2011 in Düsseldorf! And that‘s more than ten years ago! 🫣 poor Britain!
The arena is same size as turin last year and rotterdam so is the stage,only reason dusseldorf used a football stadium was because Germany had no suitable/available arenas for use at time, it was football stadium or a large tent 😂 so sorry if our small stadium isn't good enough
yes but Liverpool just wins the bid for some reason, I know why it wasn't in London as they don't want large events in London to move it more to the north of UK. I mean Cardiff did put in a bid to host the Eurovision in the millennium stadium which would of been the biggest Eurovision to date with over 70,000 being able to attend, however they withdrew the bid due to date clashing
You should check out some of the rehearsal clips. The stage is incredible, looks big but intimate, moving parts that actually work, full video floor, including catwalk, very highest quality LED screens. Far from Rotterdam? I don't think so... this is absolutely in the same league. Rotterdam was great but it was essentially a giant LED in the shape of the back wall of the arena with a catwalk and side stages that were barely used. It's main stage was actually quite small.
@@linush99 Nah. It was because Liverpool as host city had a better presentation that included Ukraine all the way as we can now see in the cultural programmes.
Yes, it looks small, but maybe it is necessary to pause the idea that bigger is better. Sometimes the stage looks empty when is too big. I think this will be perfect.
Let be honest. It's not about subjective opinions, the stage is just bad. Why this island exist? Even if island exist, why is like that. Island and stage back don't belong to each other. Why is stage behind is too small? Aesthetically, it's bad... This seems to be missing something. Like it's not finished...
Err people remember Eurovision for the artists, songs, interval acts and hosts and staging choices (e.g. props) but not the size of the stage. The stage is fit for purpose unlike Turin. The interval act Love Love Peace Peace from 2016 said it well.
First of all suspended props aren't allowed. Even if they got permission to hang this 1.8 ton (!) LED screen from the roof they would also need to prepare the staging in about 45 seconds. They weren't even able to do that for Melfest - the prop was hanging from the ceiling throughout the whole show and was lowered when it was Loreen's turn, and also required an ad break before and after because it took so long just to lower and raise it. She's not going to be allowed special treatment at Eurovision however, that would be very unfair.

The concept of the stage design was published before we even know these contestants, so it was meant for anyone specific
It really is a small arena omg... but the stage looks incredible!!!
It’s deceiving , it can host 11,000 people
