Rehearsal review

Rehearsing right now inside the Rotterdam Ahoy is Manizha, performing “Russian Woman” for Russia. We will continue to update this article as each run through takes place, so make sure to keep refreshing for the most up-to-date review!

We start off with the performance with a close-up of Manizha wearing a big dress on wheels, and as we lead up to the chorus, she steps out, into the red outfit, which we saw from the Russian National Final.

The vibe from the Russian National Final is kept, with the singers all around Manizha, with her being on the centre. The LED Screen proceeds showing words of empowerment such as ‘Rise Up’ or ‘Be The Change You Want To See’.

As we head into the final bridge, we see the backdrop with Russian Woman on the LED Screen, with the performance ending with the people featured on the LED Screen spelling ‘Russian Woman’, and Manizha and her backing singers coming together at the centre of the stage.
