Song Stage were curved wings and it constitute background for the choirs. The first Song
Stage hold 12 000 singers. Tallinn Song Festival Grounds became the location for Song
Festivals since 1928.
The territory of the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds and the surrounding area was in
private ownership. At first it belongs from Johann Burchard Bellawary.
The Song Stage for 15 000 singers was built at its current location, on the territory
between Narva and Pirita roads, in 1928 for the 9th Song Festival. The stage was again
designed by Karl Burman and it was similar to previous stage. After the war it became
increasinly obvious that the Song Festival Grounds are too small to accommodate all
singers.
In August 1956 everyone find that it is time to built a new stage.
