Eurovision 2022: Greece’s Second Rehearsal!

The last rehearsal for today is the one of Greece with Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord and her song ‘Die Together’. The first rehearsal received huge acceptance from the fandom being the only entry that climbed in the odds. The artistic approach of the staging director Fokas Evangelinos seems to have left great impressions even though a small snippet was given to the public from Tik Tok. Today, Amanda is coming again on stage for her second rehearsal, hoping to keep the eyes on her and to achieve the best possible result for Greece.

The Second Rehearsal

The song begins in a dark stage and with close shots on Amanda’s face that fade to black. Amanda opens and closes her eyes based on the pauses of the song. Then, the shot opens and we can see Amanda standing up. There are several chairs on stage, which seem to have melted legs.

The tempo of the song is getting stronger and now from above we see the stage turning blue, the color that from now and on dominates Greece’s staging. In the bridge of the song, the camera is close to Amanda while in the leds we see her shadow dancing with a male one.

Towards the end of the song there are general shots and the stage is filled up with lights and shadows around Amanda. Die Together ends as it begins with closing of Amanda’s eyes.

Below you can watch an exclusive preview clip of Amanda’s second rehearsal:

Eurovision 2022: Greece’s First Rehearsal!

The second day of rehearsals continues with Greece and Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord entering the stage of PalaOlimpico for her first technical rehearsal with the song “Die Together”.

Who is Amanda?

Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord is a critically acclaimed international singer and songwriter. Tenfjord spent the early years of her life living in Greece, before later relocating to Norway with her family, where she found herself in the same school class as Nordic popstress Sigrid.

She released her first EP, “First impression” under the stage name Amanda Tenfjord, from the city from which she grew up and received excellent reviews. Her second EP includes the song “Then I fell in love” which is a great radio success, remaining for over 20 weeks in the official top 10 radio chart of Norway. In 2020 Netflix includes the song “Troubled Water” in the series “Spinning out”.

When she’s not making music, Amanda studies medicine and has been doing her placement in a hospital for COVID-19 patients.

Τhe Rehearsal

Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord is up next, singing her ballad “Die Together”. The staging for Greece’s entry is really interesting – just Amanda on the stage in a long, silvery-white dress, surrounded by fallen-over, empty chairs against a blue backdrop. There’s an echo on the vocal that feels quite haunting – it’s impossible not to watch. VERY dramatic.

Greece: Die Together on stage will be like a dream | Soon the first rehearsal of Amanda!

The first rehearsal of the Greek participation takes place in a very few hours and we hope that it will be completed without problems and unexpectedly.

Fokas Evangelinos has designed for this year’s Greek entry, his most artistic stage appearance ever in his history in the contest.

What we will actually see will be a dream of Amanda, through her own eyes. The main person of course throughout the 3 minutes as we have informed you will be Amanda, in whose face we will see many close-ups and alternations.

Renaissance props, led that will travel you and take your breath away, play with shadows and lights, but also led for which shooting was required in Athens, are just some of what Fokas Evangelinos has prepared for the stage appearance of Die Together.

But do not forget that everything we will see will be a dream… and the dream ends in three minutes.

At 14.20 cet the first rehearsal of the Greek entry, with the optimism being diffused that Amanda will impress.
