Next in our series of interviews on location in Oslo is young Thea Garett who represents Malta this year in the Eurovision Song Contest with My dream.

Thea spoke to esctoday.com's Barry Viniker about the technical hitch in today's rehearsal that saw here disappear into a cloud of smoke (read the full story here).

She also talks about her love of musical theatre and London's west end and sings a shortened version of Think of me from Phantom of the Opera. Thea tells us about her hopes to reach the final for Malta this year and for her country's history in the contest.

Watch Thea's first rehearsal run through here:

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
