A 17–metre New Year tree ball will play songs about Moscow, winter and the New Year.

A gigantic New Year tree ball with a dance floor inside is being installed on Poklonnaya Gora. The assembly of the decoration will last until the middle of next week. The ball entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2016 in the category Largest Image Made of LED Lights. With a diametre of 17 metres, the decoration will consist of 23,000 lights. The ball will not only emit light but also play music. The playlist will include melodies and songs about Moscow, winter and the New Year. Patterns and shapes of various sizes, such as snow-flakes, fireworks and rings, will appear on the surface of the ball depending on the music played. The lights will change colour with the volume and rhythm of the music.

“Anyone will be able to go into the huge New Year tree ball and dance. The playlist will feature the best-known melodies, such as ABBA’s Happy New Year, Winter, from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, Moscow Windows performed by the group Moscow Girls, and Eduard Khil’s song Winter (“An icy roof, a creaky door…” – mos.ru),” the Moscow Fairs press service reported.

In the run-up to 2016, a 17-metre New Year tree ball decorated Manezhnaya Square. But it did not play music or have a dance floor inside. An application was sent to the Guinness Book of Records committee in London to recognise the gigantic ball as the world’s largest LED sculpture. In April, the committee confirmed the record in this category.

The Moscow Fairs company said that the New Year tree ball will be the largest but not the only one in the city. An open-work luminous ball with a smaller diametre of 11 metres will be installed at VDNKh. And the smallest ballts, 3 metres in diametre, will light up Zelenograd.

Moscow will be decorated with 3D LED installations ahead of the New Year and Christmas. Muscovites and tourists will spot the number 2017 near fairs and boulevards. Kuznetsky Most and Rozhdestvenka Street will turn into a fairy-tale forest with the help of garlands on the trees, and in the Zamoskvorechye District, lanterns of various shapes and sizes will hover in the sky. Large New Year tree balls shedding a soft warm light will be installed on the Novoarbatsky Bridge. A figure of Father Frost driving a trio of horses will appear near the Triumphal Arch, a flying angel will grace Gogolevsky Boulevard and in the evening hours an amusement park will shine bright for all to see in Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Lighting designers from Paris will turn street lamps in Tverskaya Street into champagne flutes.
