Baku is going to be the ESC capital of the year. In the meanwhile all preparations are done, the boulevard from the city centre to the Crystal Hall, as well as the arena itself. This has been officially opened by the Premier Minister of Azerbaijan. The Crystal hall is a new landmark with outside illumination which brings a special atmosphere to the city at the Caspian Sea.

Yesterday, the ESC 2012 has opened its doors for the first singer from the semi finals, journalists and fans. The busy time of rehearsals and press conferences has started. From now on Baku and Azerbaijan are in the topics of the international media, reporting about the Eurovision Song Contest. The stage has been revealed and the delegations could test the latest technology which is used this year, for example 3D background. The stage consists of different geometric elements; it appears a bit smaller as last year. A burning chilli is used before every entry to keep the motto of the show “Lite your fire”.

As further announced, Dima Bilan is going to appear on this year’s Eurovision stage in the Second Semi Final. Furthermore there are more ESC winners to perform as an interval act: Ell & Nikki from Azerbaijan 2011, Lena from Germany 2010, Alexander Rybak from Norway 2009, Dima Biland from Russia 2008 and Maria Serifovic from Serbia 2007. This will be another highlight in this year’s edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku. It’s still a secret what and how they perform, as a medley or individually. Nevertheless this will bring more glamour in the semi finals.
