Festivals Malta have just revealed their magnificent stage for Mużika Mużika, which in a few days will host the most anticipated festival of the year.

Last year’s masterpiece seemed impossible to trump but this year’s stage takes its inspiration from there. 

Stage designer, Gerald Agius Ordway revealed that the idea for this year’s stage came to him during the 2022 final. He sketched it out there and then just as the show was about to start …how’s that for continuity?

Gerald explains that the stage design keeps evolving with new developments and improvements each year. 

“For the first edition, the design focused mainly on the Mużika Mużika logo, while for the second year the stage focused closely on the concept, particularly on circular shapes. The stage gets bigger each year, which is natural, as after each edition we go back to the drawing board and improve through what we learned.”

The process behind creating such a stage starts as early as July, which kicks-off with an in-depth analysis of the previous stage and how it can be improved even further.

Each version of the stage is evaluated and developed by the Mużika Mużika board, with the final concept being created digitally, in 3D, and to-scale. 

Once the design is finalised and approved the stage is broken into materials and structures, lights, screens, cables, etc, to start sourcing its components, which is when the real fun starts.

“This year’s stage incorporates over 260 square metres of LED Screens, over 450 lighting features, and over 600 running metres of led strips. One also must take into consideration how these elements will interact with the various aspects the stage caters for, including the artists, the orchestra, the presenters, the live-audience, as well as the television broadcast.

There’s a team of around 60 people who are working in-tandem to make this stage a reality. It’s no easy feat, but through careful preparation, technology and state-of-the-art-equipment, the results are quite breath-taking, especially when you see it all come to life during the three nights of the festival,” explains Gerald.

The Mużika Mużika stage never ceases to impress, and we are sure that this year will be no different. We’ll just have to wait to see this year’s stage in action during the show.
