'We never knew going to Eurovision would be such a huge production', says David D'Or's wife and manager to Israeli paper Ma'ariv.

'Its just like redecorating the house. The more you get into it, the more expenses you come across', says Pazit D'Or, the singer's wife. 'Our main concept is to focus on David, and not his surroundings. Therefore there will be no gimmicks or tricks on stage', says the song's stage director Eric Davidovic. The stage act will feature David D'Or in front, backed by 2 female vocalists and a male one. In addition, cello and harp players will backing the singers on stage.

David D'Or will participate in the scheduled rehearsals on May 5th and 7th, and then leave Istanbul with his wife Pazit, and they will both return to Israel to spend the weekend with their children at home. 'We have kids at home to take care of, there is no reason for us to lay about in Istanbul', says David D'Or, who will return to Turkey on May 10th.
