The top ten countries that join the Big Five and Ukraine in the final on Saturday 13 May
Great show and many thrills in the first evening of theEurovision 2023 which is staged until Saturday 13 May in Liverpool, a city chosen instead of a Ukrainian location due to the war raging in the country which last year in Turin, with the Kalush Orchestra, won the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest. On the stage of the Liverpool Arena to lead the evening are climbed Hannah Waddinghamseen in the series Ted Lasso, Alesha Dixon and the Ukrainian singer Yulia Sanina.
Marco Mengoni and his “Two Lives”
—
At 10:53 pm a video was shown to the audience with interview snippets with three of the singers of the Big Five, the duo Lord of the Lost (Germany), The Zarra (France) and our Marco Mengoni, who spoke about his first Eurovision in 2013, ten years ago. Back at the Liverpool Arena live, the four artists were interviewed on a sofa and snippets of their dress rehearsals were shown. Marco was interviewed last and a few seconds of his performance was shown in Two lives on stage at the Liverpool Arena. We remind you that Mengoni has already qualified directly to Saturday’s final because our nation is one of the Big Five with France, United Kingdom, Spain and Germany.
