Description
Welcome to a behind-the-scenes look at the 70th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest! In 2026, the Wiener Stadthalle was once again transformed into an absolute high-tech arena, and the ORF and production crews pulled out all the stops to create a breathtaking visual masterpiece. Join us in part one of our exclusive EventElevator documentary as we dive deep into the highest league of show entertainment. We explore a seemingly weightless stage design featuring a spectacular sweeping catwalk and uncover the technical magic of 80 kinetically controlled Ayrton Rivale moving lights. Get exclusive insights directly from the masterminds who made this massive production a reality for over 30 delegations. Hear firsthand from TV Director Michael Kögler, Stage Designer Florian Wieder, and Lighting Designer Tim Routledge, while Johannes Schau from Big Rig breaks down the colossal load-in process. Plus, the brilliant lighting team — including Associate LD Morgan Evans and MA console wizards Alex Mildenhall, Martin Higgins, and Manfred Nikitser — reveals the secrets behind programming this awe-inspiring spectacle. Hit play and grab your exclusive backstage pass to the biggest TV event of the year!
