Rehearsal review
Rehearsing right now for the second time inside the Rotterdam Ahoy is Eden Alene performing “Set Me Free” for Israel. 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!
Firstly, remind yourselves what happened in the first rehearsal:
And now here is what we’ve noticed in today’s second rehearsal:
Eden from Israel is back on stage with her backup dancers and the first thing you notice is that she has her crown on from the get-go. Camera angles work out much better this time and Eden is visibly enjoying it and is not as tense as in her first rehearsal. The cheoreography works out perfectly.
During the catwalk and B-stage part, the comic drawings of Eden on the transparent screen have changed and have gotten some blue background. The reveal also works much better this time and besides the first run through, Eden is hitting those whistle notes perfectly. For the last run, we also get sparkly pyro!
