Amadeus: “Sanremo? There is no plan B, either it is done with the public or nothing”

“There is no plan B for the Sanremo Festival, it must be in total normality. Either it is done with the public or nothing “: so, without mincing words, the conductor Amadeus spoke about ‘his’ show, the most famous singing competition in Italy, at the TV and new media festival in Dogliani, in the province of Cuneo. “An empty Ariston is unthinkable, or with the audience at a distance and then the orchestra, every two meters. Fiorello who can’t spit water on my neck? “added the showman.

“On December 17 on Rai 1 there will be the final evening of Sanremo young, but all the big names that will be competing will also be presented “, continued the artistic director and presenter of the next one Sanremo, “let’s hope the next one is the first Covid post. It’s a bit early to say how it will be, the date was announced, March 2 to 6, a month after last year. We want to be positive, obviously meant as a thought and to think that in March we can go back to normal. Now let’s start with the music, with the part linked to Sanremo young people “, he continued,” music is the priority.

From the first of September the pieces began to arrive and the whole first part until November and almost entirely focused on music. We will have the pleasure of listening to hundreds of songs “.

“The coronavirus leaves TV the ability to adapt”, explained Amadeus, “without the public we are doing a TV that we never imagined doing, even in February when we did Sanremo in total normality. Twenty days later I did. The usual unknown without an audience and with the distance between the competitors and the ‘Unknowns’. Now we can’t wait to get back to normal, “he concluded.
