The line-up for the Festival's five evenings
The first two evenings of the Sanremo Festival 2022 will see singers get on stage and sing their songs. Songs that will be voted by the three voting components of the Jury of the Press, TV, Radio and Web and, on Wednesday, we will discover a first ranking.
On the third evening, the 25 big entertainers will sing their songs again, but they will be voted via Televoto and the 1000 Demoscopic Jury.
On Friday, there will be a cover artist night while on Saturday there will be again the big performances in the race and the selection of the winner. One of the latest innovations concerns the final evening of the event that will be opened by Mameli's National Anthem performed by the Guardia di Finanza's Band and specially conducted by Maestro Leonardo Ingrosso.
The scenography of the Ariston Theatre
This year the Sanremo Festival's scenography was created by Gaetano and Maria Chiara Castelli who gave a nod to the world of variety, taking inspiration from traditional scenes with white, but revisiting everything with three-dimensional elements and a lightweight, transparent curtain.
We're ready to go. Now you know everything you need to get prepared for Sanremo Festival 2022's first night, but do not forget: if you want to breathe the air of the festival and live the emotions that only our city can give you, a stay at the Royal Hotel Sanremo is what you need and we are waiting for you with open arms!
