The main music week of the season begins with a solemn opening ceremony.
After the address of the mayor of Lisbon and the opening ceremony the performers are waiting for the second, the most difficult week in Portugal. These are three dress-rehearsals, semi-finals and a grand final, which Belarus-1 and Belarus-24 will show live on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
What the audience cannot feel is the atmosphere in the dressing room, where the performers are getting ready for the show. View emotional video blog from Lisbon by Yuri Yaroshik (video).
