Eurovision rehearsals are now underway in Liverpool, with Israeli representative Noa Kirel taking to the official stage for the first time to perform her song “Unicorn.”
“I was really excited to get up on the stage for the first time, I’m proud to represent my country,” Kirel says, according to the Kan public broadcaster.
The broadcaster says that Kirel’s performance begins with a special prop made up of a tunnel of lights that produces an optical illusion on stage.
Kirel is slated to compete in the first Eurovision semifinal next Tuesday, aiming to advance to the grand final of the contest on May 13.
