Moscow. "Olympiyskiy" sport complex. Representation of the third and last show of Alsou, "Solo", within the framework of solo concerts of "Trilogy". The final "examination" of the singer, which she is simply obliged to pass and to receive an excellent mark.

The spectators, being in a hurry to get in time on the show, have provoked the overload of Moscow underground... And the huge hall of sport complex is filled. The dancing area before the stage is filled with teenagers wishing to dance during the concert. Under the dome of the stadium the huge luminous inflatable spheres are hanged out. The stage is covered by the curtain, where the huge text shines "Alsou. Trilogy. Solo". The spectators are in anticipation of an unforgettable show, and consequently ask for the beginning of action by their applause. They even do not imagine, what a grandiose program waits for them during this evening. Alsou haven't held such a show. And nobody have yet...

The concert in "Olympiyskiy" was a result of long and persistent work of hundreds of people. The show provided the inclusion of huge amount of technical effects, therefore all the numbers were fulfilled many times during the repetitions. Frequently many things went bad and wrong, but the daily work of huge team of people has made its job: the program was perfected by all of the participants up to the smallest nuances. The occurrence of any delays and failures was simply excluded.

The beginning. The hall completely drowns in darkness. The only place, where the light is concentrated is the middle of the stage. The small girl appears out of the curtain (we will tell you, that it is Julia, the daughter of A.Shevchenko), and she goes in the direction of a grand piano, standing on the left side from her. The instrument opens itself, and the light beam flashes out of it with surprisingly bright green colour. It runs, like it is scanning the whole hall. The similar laser beams flash over the stage, creating improbable fantastic volumetric forms crossing with each other. The girl sits down near the grand piano, and the first chords of composition "Angel" are audible. Probably, according to the creators' plan, the girl near the musical instrument symbolizes little Alsou in childhood, or, possibly, her angel, which leads her forward on the way of musical creativity...

The guys from Alsou's dancing team appear from the both sides of the stage; they are dressed in silver costumes. The glass capsule is lowered from up above. Inside it, having turned in the form of embrion, the girl sits. All the scenic platform is filled with the smoke, the capsule dissolves in it... When the smoke dissipates, the door opens, and the guys help the girl to get out. The fireworks before the stage flash. The hall of the stadium blows up in applause. The spectators recognize Alsou in the image of the girl in a space costume. The musical composition "Before You Love Me" immediately follows.

The dance, fulfilled during the repetitions, with "the matrix" effect leads up the spectators to the mad delight. At the end the song the dancing aliens take off Alsou's space costume, and she, like Lilu from "The Fifth Element" remains in a silver top and short white skirt. Alsou welcomes the public and promises many surprises.
"Zabroshenniy Les". With the help of dancers and their costumes the effect "of wood's revival" is created - the movement of foliage, huge flowers, butterflies. With the help of laser effects the stage bathes in green colour. "Perviy Sneg " - the melodious song of Alsou, which is uncluded in "19", is is performed under falling snow. The blizzard of artificial snowflakes fills all the stage and rushes into auditorium. "Bosikom". Uptempo, shining song of Alsou about summer continues to turn the public on, not letting to stop and to have a rest from dances. The dancers are in light-blue free costumes symbolizing the raindrops. They run on the stage, causing the spectators' delight. "Svet V Tvoyom Okne". Alsou steps from the stage on the specially prepared covered triangular platform. At the beginning of the songs it comes in movement and goes in different directions near the stage. The group of the admirers from among dancing at the stage lights their lanterns, and the huge amount of small flames flashes.
"Perviy Raz" - one more new beautiful song of Alsou is performed by her in complete loneliness. Nothing breaks the calmnesses of the composition, except for magnificent light design of the stage: it is filled in by pink and light-blue light.

At the end of the composition Alsou escapes to change her clothes. The dark-skinned guy appears on the stage, dressed in leather rap jacket with an emblem of one of the "Formula 1" teams, red cap and dark mirror glasses. On his head there are professional headphones, and he like a real DJ rises to the mixing consol and begins "to twist disks". (Again, secretly we can tell you, that this guy is Darren, the personal bodyguard of Alsou who has taken such an interestig role in the show). During the Darren's mixed composition one might guess, that the introduction to the song "What Your Girl Don't Know" sounds. Three huge eight-meter monitors appear on the stage and everything going on the stage can be observed on them. Alsou appears with the support of dancers. Now she is dressed in a snow-white evening dress with the bright symbol of love - red burning rose attached on the belt. At the certain moment of the composition the guys surround Alsou and take off her dress. Alsou remains in a white top and fashionable flared white-pink trousers with intricate avangard design. The song is very dynamical, and all the dancing hall is turned on up to the limit.

The composition "Run Right Out Of Time" follows without any pauses. The dancers are on the "high-speed pathes" and they are carried away to the back of the stage. According to the plan of the dance, the singer is surrounded by featureless, robotized characters being in a continuous cycled movement. Performing the song, Alsou tries not to merge with them, to escape from them, to remain herself, identifying the image of Bladerunner.

"Mechty", an original experiment. It is a new variant of the song, which Alsou has performed with Karl Frierson, the frontman of "De Phazz". During the performance of the song the huge mirror sphere symbolizing the 70's disco style was lowered on the stage. By the end of the melody both singers have untwisted this sphere, and all stadium resurrected, flashing in numerous reflected light flames. After the end of the composition Alsou and Karl have decided to play with the hall, having asked the spectators to launch "the Mexican wave". The spectators should rise their hands and rise from their places, really creating the wave effect. Third time it was made perfect. "He Loves Me" is one more uptempo song. Alsou and her dancing team continue to charge the hall by energy and to keep it in suspense.

At the same time the huge half moon is lowered on the stage. It flashes with a gold light. Alsou, dressed in light-blue jeans and white top, appears. "Lunnaya Tropa". Probably, the most psychologically terrible number for Alsou. Sitting on the gold half moon, and having begun to perform the song, girl with the help of technical adaptations has flied up almost under the dome of sport complex. And during the the song she swung on the moon, pleasing the spectators by beautiful song and charming smile. The light lasers stipulated the effect shooting stars. After the end of the song the half moon was lowered on the platform, which has risen before the stage, where everything was ready for the following compositions.

The acoustic part of the program began. The musicians from Alsou's team have appeared on the platform with their instruments. Vadim Baikov sat near the elecrtical piano. The covers of "Vesna", "Vchera" and "Glaza V Glaza" were presented to the spectators.

The following numbers of the program were Alsou's performances with the chamber orchestra. The singer again has changed her look and has appeared in a snow-white dress with a light-blue belt. "Letyashchaya Nad Oblakami". The new song in Alsou's repertoir was accompanied by a group of classical ballet.
"Teardrops". Nothing on the stage breaks the calmness and beauty of this song. The songs, which was written by Alsou herself, performing which she has enclosed all her. "Osen". Number in the Venetian spirit. The dancers-ballerinas are dressed in huge fluffy dressed coloured as the autumn foliage. Tremendous surprise and impression is received, when you see, that the dance is performed on safety belts: the men throw balerinas upwards and they fly, drawing various pirouettes.

During next minutes of dance performance Alsou has time to change her clothes and now appears in a role of the girl in club clothes: in black trousers and white T-shirt. "Gorod Pod Zontom ". The true rain falls on the stage!! And the drops of water fall to the semi-naked bodies of two dancers, located near Alsou. The water does not reach the singer, and impressions from the song and water effects are simply tremendous. "You're My ?1". Three huge monitors again appear on the stage. Alsou explains that she wanted to sing the following song with Enrique, but because of his hard schedule she will sing it alone. Enrique's image is shown on the screens, and the videoline of the same clip follows. Enrique's part of the song spunds from the record. Alsou sings her part herself. The hall is in twilight, and the stage is covered by light-blue light.

"Everybody". A new rhythmical English song of Alsou. The singer teaches the hall the simple synchronous applause and refrain, which sounds very simply: "La-la-la". The public participates in performance with pleasure, and the energy from this event passes from the hall to the stage and back.
"Vsyo Ravno". One more very rhythmical and popular song, which is sang by the whole hall. During the song several huge multi-coloured balls rush into the hall, and they are passed by spectators to each other and to the stage. At a certain moment Alsou has thrown the ball near the TV camera and has shown her deliberately frightened face...

"Solo". Alsou's images are on three monitors. On each of them Alsou is presented in absolutely different images. From the first screen Alsou speaks: "They try to get in my life ". The second one continues: "They consider, it is possible to buy everything for money". Third: "They say, that I am searching for a prince". Certainly, it is about the journalists. The angry tirade of Alsou comes to an end with the next words in English: "Just shut the f[beep!]ck, 'coz we need to continue the show!" and all the three Alsous "break" the monitors into small splinters. The darkness comes to the hall. The real Alsou appears, dressed in a snow-white short dress with a silver star on her breast. Simultaneously with original performance of the composition, its performance on the three monitors also follows, but the general synchronization of the song is not broken. From one screen to another one virtual Alsou throws the wooden cane to the second one. The effect is tremendous.

"Inogda". Very interesting interactive number with participation of the spectators in the hall: Alsou has appeared on the stage with a manual videocamera and during the sounds of melody, performing a composition, has started to shoot the people dancing near the stage. The image from the camera was broadcasted on huge monitors, and many spectators could see themselves there. By the way, Alsou did not cease to have fun, placing the camera opposite her own face and making cheerful grimaces.
Then Alsou says, that she has frozen, and the dancer brings the white fluffy dressing gown and dresses Alsou in it. The artificial snow falls again.
It was easy to guess, that the song "Zimniy Son" will follow, that song, which has given Alsou the permit in her musical career. Alsou, knowing the love of the spactators to this song, simply has unwrapped the microphone to the hall: the spectators have sung everything, except for several words of the refrain.

"Angel". The final song of Alsou. Julia, that girl, which sat down near the grand piano right at the beginning of the concert, appears again. Alsou takes her hand and performes the song, which she has written herself. Under the finishing chords of the composition all participants of the concert appear, stand in a line and bow. And their queen, Alsou, and her angel-girl continue to transfer sincere notes of love expressed in the song, forcing the heartbeating of the people...
The concert is finished … Flowers, toys, gifts, boundless love of the fans are continuation of any Alsou's concert.

The last "Trilogy" exam is passed by Alsou over. Nobody will argue, that she made it excellent. This mark was put by Moscow. The show became one of the most important events in the Russian show-business, because nobody did anything similar to this. It was possible only for a fragile girl with large eyes and perfect vote.
