Eurovision 2023: The Third Day’s rehearsal schedule!

The big moment for all Eurofans has arrived. The wait has come to an end, as we are now in the most important days before the live shows. Rehearsals officially begun yesterday for the 67th Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

The rehearsals are divided into two phases; the first phase will last three days, from Sunday 30/04 until Tuesday 02/05 and will include the first rehearsals of all the countries taking part in the two semi-finals of the competition. The second phase will last from Wednesday 03/05 until Saturday 06/05 and includes the second rehearsals of the countries of the two semi-finals as well as the rehearsals of the countries competing directly in the Final, namely the Big 5 and last year’s winner Ukraine.

Last year’s changes in the way rehearsals are covered continue this year, as the Press Center opens on Monday after the first and second rehearsals, which means that the information we will have for the first week of the competition will come exclusively from the material to be provided by the EBU to the accredited journalists.

The last eleven countries from the second semi-final will make their first appearance on stage at the M&S Bank Arena. These countries are:

Poland: Blanka will have a new choreography team for Liverpool!

According to Polish media reports, Blanka will present a different stage performance in Liverpool, compared to the Polish national final, as the choreography of Solo will be done by a new team.

The polish broadcaster, TVP, has assigned the stage direction to a new choreographer for this year’s competition, replacing Agustin Egurrola, who has been in charge of the Polish entries in recent years, both at Eurovision and Eurovision Junior. It is worth noting that Agustin has worked with this year’s Polish representative in the contest, Blanka, on several occasions in the past, and was also a member of the jury for the national final, which placed her in first place, ensuring her victory.

The reasons for Agustin’s replacement have not been confirmed, and the name of the new choreographer for the Polish entry has not yet been announced.

Poland is set to appear in 9th place in the Second Semi-Final on May 11 in Liverpool:
