The promotional spot, in which Olivia Lewis relays a message as Vertigo plays in the background, is being financed by the Ministry for Tourism and Culture. Speaking of the deal, Minister Francis Zammit Dimech said that the spot will serve a double purpose of promoting both Malta’s song as well as the island in the context of tourism. According to Schlagerblog, a wind machine will feature in Olivia Lewis performance in the semi-final on the 10th May. Meanwhile, stage construction works at Helsinki Arena which will host the Eurovision Song Contest have started. Just like last year, construction of the stage is in the hands of the United Kingdom-based company StageOne. The stage’s concept is based on a pike's jaw, which was once used to make the kantele, a traditional Finnish music instrument. It was created by design students Kalle Ahonen, Samuli Laine, Kristian Schmidt and Jenni Viitanen under the guidance of production designer is Riikka Kytönen. MaltaMedia.com will report live from Finland during Eurovision week with Toni Sant present at the Helsinki Arena. © Copyright 2007 by MaltaMedia.com |
