Look up some of the YouTube videos. It was absolutely bonkers.


Translated french article on the show. Apparently the stage cost $6m and costs $600k to set up and operate for each show.

a team of 265 people - supported by 260 local technicians - were active on the show site. Arrived a week in advance, all these beautiful people were busy setting up the stage 200 feet wide, 100 feet deep and 120 feet high that will throne at Parc Jean-Drapeau.

During the evening, 586 pyrotechnic effects were deployed, as were 860 pounds of black and white confetti. Add to that 1070 stage projectors, 36 smoke machines and 35 powerful fans, we get extraordinary visual effects.
