Two very different musical worlds: one epic outdoor performance.
The world-renowned English National Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conducted by Stephen Bell, were joined on Liverpool’s official Eurovision Village stage by former Eurovision contestants Ruslana, Sonia and Linda Martin as well as international opera stars including Russell Watson, Ella Taylor, Ellie Neate, Zwakele Tshabalala, Themba Mvula and Collin Shay to perform classical arrangements of some of the Song Contest’s greatest hits.
With bright costumes, rousing choirs, fabulous divas and sing-along tunes. Winning Eurovision songs, interval acts like Riverdance and Eurovision’s long-standing theme music – Charpentier’s Te Deum – are given the orchestral treatment.
Joyful, moving and loud, this performance perfectly captured the spirit of Eurovision. This was produced by English National Opera.
