The team at ESCToday.com have arrived in the host city of Vienna, ready to bring you the latest news live from the Eurovision scene. Today we’re here at the first Eurovision 2015 rehearsals, ready to bring you the latest updates on location live from the Wiener Stadthalle.

Today’s rehearsals continue with Armenia, represented by the 6-member supergroup Genealogy. On stage, each of the 6 representatives are wearing either a black suit or dress, performing in front of a violet forest which appears on the LED screens in the background.

There are no props involved in the Armenian performance, the members of Genealogy simply walk around the stage together. Towards the end of the performance, a map of the world is presented on the stage floor.

Below you can find a first impression of Armenia’s first rehearsal on the Eurovision stage.

We spoke to members of the press following Armenia’s first rehearsal on the Eurovision stage, who gave their first impressions of the performance.
