“It started an hour and a half laterbut everything is forgiven to the queen of pop,” says Tatiana Arús in Arusers about the concert Madonna celebrated last night at the Palau Sant Jordi. Tonight, the artist will once again fill the stadium with a second stop on her tour in this city.

About twenty dancers, more than 400 square meters of stage, hundreds of spotlights and, in the center, Madonna, the eternal diva. This was the show that made his 40-year career shine, a dazzling show full of hits before an audience surrendered at his feet.

The queen of pop paraded along a 70-meter catwalk and with her a lifetime “with beautiful things and ugly things,” as she herself said, but above all, with a lot of music and a lot to be grateful for because “the mere fact of being alive is a privilege“Let us remember that Madonna feared that she would not be able to meet her audience again when last summer she canceled the American leg of the tour for a serious bacterial infection that landed her in the ICU. Just four months later, she is back on stage.

Although the choreographies This tour is not as demanding for the diva as in other times, she continues to set style and keep her charisma intact. Madonna was the host of an exciting reunion and the architect of a grandiose show that her 18,000 spectators enjoyed in ecstasy.

“This is the story of my life,” said the 65-year-old singer, who started the party remembering that young woman in her twenties called Madonna Louis Ciccone who came to New York from Michigan to dance, sing and succeed. They were the distant eighties and the punk and graffiti aesthetics of the time flooded the hanging screens located on the catwalk and the fixed ones at the back of the stage, while the most veteran of the fans felt transported to their youth with ‘Burning up’ and ‘ Open your heart.

After this first part of contagious youthful joy, came one of the most emotional moments of the night when the queen remembered theAIDS victims. Singing ‘Live to tell’, she flew over the venue on a time machine with transparent walls where black and white photographs of the deceased were projected.

But this was only the first example of the potential of the stage and its walkways, which throughout the concert were transformed into an ipagan church in ‘Like a prayer’in a boxing ring in ‘Papa don’t preach’, a great orgy in ‘Erotica’a dance contest in ‘Vogue’a bonfire in ‘Crazy for you’, a country party in ‘Don’t tell me’ and a futuristic planet in ‘Ray of light’.

A time travel which allowed her to recover iconic costumes and in which the diva was accompanied by her children: Marcy James on piano in ‘Bad Girl’, Estere as a dancer in ‘Vogue‘ and David Banda on strings in ‘Mother and Father’. There was also time for speeches in defense of the rights of the LGTBI community and to ask that we “love our neighbor as ourselves”, but above all for music and to make it clear that Madonna is still at the top.
