These days here at the Altice Arena are filled with a marathon of rehearsals, press conferences, interviews for the press. At some days the schedules of the delegations overlap in the interview area so that chaos is preprogramed. The interview boxes have a strange sound like inside a metal box. Furthermore the temperature is incredibly hot.

At some days the schedules of the delegations overlap in the interview area so that chaos is preprogramed. The interview boxes have a strange sound like inside a metal box. Furthermore the temperature is incredibly hot.

The friendly volunteers try their best to organize the whole procedure, but it’s a marathon with 43 participating countries.
Today the rehearsals have started with Armenia and will end in the evening with the finalists, France has the last spot in the rehearsal schedule.

About me:
As one of the founders of eurovisionlive.com I am responsible for the interviews with the singers and the editorial content. My passion for the Eurovision Song Contest exists since my early childhood. The exotic music, different cultures and languages have given a lot of inspiration to me. Since my very first ESC in Dublin 1994 I particularly appreciate the get together and friendship of all the nationalities and Riverdance was a thrill!
