Eurovision 2021: Head of Contest Twan van de Nieuwenhuijzen on SF running order and live-on-tape

Опубликовано 26 марта 2021, 13:00

Twan van de Nieuwenhuijzen — the Head of Contest for Eurovision 2021 — has a lot of responsibilities. He tells our Renske about some of them, including helping participating delegations bring their stage shows to life within the bounds of what's possible. He also discusses the live-on-tape back-up recordings process and how countries had the flexibility to record them whenever they chose (apparently Portugal's The Black Mamba did their recording immediately after their national final — at 2am! — after cleaning the stage.) Twan says the semi-final running order has been decided, and that he is now waiting for final approval from the EBU. The meeting to decide the running order included eight people, including the Head of Show, multi-cam directors, someone from the technical production team and other executives. His team also used input from each country about the difficulties they may face on stage and the ideas they hope to convey. It's a lot to take in and we are so glad he told us all about it.
