It’s now time for the rehearsals of semi-final 2 to take place this afternoon, where the 18 participants will take to the stage at the Globe Arena for a second time! We here at ESCToday are ready to bring you the latest news live from the arena itself.

Slovenia’s ManuElla takes to the Globe Arena stage next in the same dress worn in the first rehearsal.

Standing in the centre of the stage, a spotlight shines on ManuElla as the song starts before the stage changes into shades of blue and red, fitting with the title of the entry. Lights flash around the stage throughout the performance and also appear on the backing LED screens. Halfway through the performance, ManuElla is joined by an acrobat on stage who performs some tricks beside the singer, before then leaving the stage and leaving ManuElla to perform the last part of her song alone.

Check out Slovenia’s second rehearsal below!

Rehearsals continue this afternoon with Bulgaria before another break takes place.
