News is in from fellow fansite Madonna Underground that Belgian stagin’ company StageCo has been enrolled to build four stages with identical dimension and features for the show, sized 70 x 40 meters and 26 meters high for the MDNA tour.

Working on specs and safety – an issue that is more and more taken in consideration these days after a series of accidents and casualties involved various stage productions all around the world – Dutch company Reeffors put aside an original concept of a “sail as a roof” and came up with an inflatable roof as the chosen option.

Talking to local media outlet Twentsche Courant Tubantia, Reefhors director Herman Ten Barge explains: “A sail as a roof was found to be too risky. Therefore, the structure was designed with an inflatable roof.”

More than a kilometer of hoses will be used to create the structure, Ten Barge – who as a former dee-jay used to spin a lot of Madonna tracks back in the ’80s – explains.

“I did not dream that I ever would do business with her. Whatever happens, I will fulfill Madonna’s order” he adds.

Check out a detailed report and interview with Herman on yesterday’s edition of the Twentsche Tubantia Courant.
