From the spectacular and purpose built Baku Crystal Hall to the more intimate Green Glens Arena of Millstreet, the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest is as much a part of the event as the songs are! Every year host broadcasters work hard to give the viewers a memorable backdrop for the shows, with staging becoming increasingly elaborate and sophisticated!
So before we Open Up in earnest to Rotterdam this year, before the First Semi Final and the Second Semi Final get started and before we award our 12 points, let’s take a look at how to say stage in the 50 languages of Europe in a Day!
