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.
This year’s Dutch representative, Trijntje Oosterhuis, embarked on her first rehearsal on the Eurovision stage this afternoon. Wearing a low-cut black dress, Trijntje performs wearing a net headpiece which appears over her face.
Similar to last year’s Dutch performance by the Common Linnets, this year’s performance from the Netherlands is filmed in one shot on the stage. UV lights are also used within the stage rehearsal.
