The Polish press conference scheduled to be the first of the day will now take place at 19:00 this evening after the Polish representatives were delayed following their first technical rehearsal. Problems with the stage background and sound adjustments were to blame.
Isis Gee was roundly applauded by the media and fans for a strong rehearsal this morning, but it appears there were technical issues to be resolved behind the scenes. esctoday.com contacted the Polish delegation to find out why the press conference was delayed.
A Spokesperson for the Polish delegation said "I am sorry for the fans and media who came early after the Euroclub opened last night. We had some small issues that we had to go through with the stage manager, and unfortunately, we missed the press conference slot. Rather than delay the following press conferences,it wasdecided that it would be best to reschedule for this evening".
So far, the technical rehearsals have run very smoothly, however it is often the case that artists or delegations request changes to the backing visuals, lighting and stage positioning as well as camera work. There are only two technical rehearsals, and any major changes need to be made between them. No further changes can be made after the technical rehearsals are complete.
