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.

Poland’s Michał Szpak is next onstage today, joined by 3 violinists, a cellist and pianist who perform behind the Polish singer.

The stage lights up predominantly in colours of red and white throughout the performance, matching with Michał’s outfit. A line from the song, “what color is your life?”, appears on the LED screen behind Michał in each of the choruses and lights shine around the entire stage. Also appearing on the LED screens are small stars, giving the effect of a night’s sky.

Check out Poland’s second rehearsal below!
