Today total of seven countries from the first semi-final will get the chance to run their performances for the first time and get acquainted with the stage, and first up were Cyprus and Serbia!
Let’s take a look at their rehearsals below:
Cyprus 🇨🇾 – Silia’s Liar lights up the stage
@eurovision She’s got us <<feeling like ooh-la-la>>– Cyprus’ Silia Kapsis if officially the first, first rehearsal! 🇨🇾 #Eurovision2024 @SILIA
Silia accepted the responsibility of taking the stage first for the 2024 season, and despite a few nerves brought nothing but high energy and fantastic vocals.
Ever since her announcement, Silia has been working hard to memorize a clear set of challenging choreography and build vocal endurance as well.
Sporting a full white cropped top and pants embellished with rhinestones, she easily stands out on the stage alongside her four backup dancers. The tiktok clip also reveals that the main colors of her performance are blue and red, which offer a stark contrast to her all white outfit and occasional white lighting.
Her final stance will see her sport the infamous “L” from her promotional materials for “Liar”.
Serbia 🇷🇸 – Teya Dora’s Ramonda gets seaside setting
@eurovision @TeyaDora is serving Serbian seaside songstress at first rehearsals in Malmö 🇷🇸 #Eurovision2024
Teya Dora of Serbia is the second to take the stage this morning, sporting an all new outfit that is much brighter and flowing than her outfit in the Serbian national selection.
The delegation have also option to enhance the platform that Teya used in her winning performance, portraying her as sitting on a cliffside rock formation instead of a flat rocky platform. The seaside siren has officially reached her final form on the Malmo stage.
Dark images of the sea and clouds still adorn the LED screens, with the lighting concept operating in many phases. The first phase mirrors the intimate blues of her PZE performance now paired with whites and purples.
The first chorus see’s the stage brighten to white as Teya leaves the rock formation, and according to photos we will also see the glimmers of lilac in the second verse.
As the final chorus plays a massive thunderstorm takes over the once peaceful sea setting, flashing lilac bolts in reference to her song’s meaning.
More staging reveals are set to come as Lithuania, Ireland, Ukraine, Poland, and Croatia have their first rehearsals.
