Artiesten schitteren ondanks sobere songfestivalstart

De openingsceremonie van het Eurovisie Songfestival in Malmö was dit jaar minder uitbundig dan voorgaande jaren. Het koude weer, de stille opkomst van de artiesten en het op afstand houden van de fans maakten de show minder feestelijk.

Door mogelijke ongeregeldheden werd het evenement streng beveiligd. Agenten patrouilleerden in het omliggende gebied te voet, te paard, op het water en in auto’s. Fans werden ruim op afstand gehouden, maar volgden de ceremonie toch met enkele tientallen. Veel konden ze niet zien, maar er werd van ver enthousiast gejuicht als een nieuwe artiest de loper betrad.

De songfestivalartiesten maakten er zelf het beste van en trokken in galajurk of in vogelpak als een bonte stoet langs de camera’s. Overal op de loper werd druk geposeerd, werden dansjes ingezet of delen van liedjes gezongen. Sommige inzendingen hadden hun muziekinstrumenten meegenomen.

De Finse inzending Windows95man had misschien wel de origineelste outfit van de middag aangetrokken. Hij zat samen met zanger Henri Piispanen in een ei dat om de zoveel meter met een rookmachine werd opengetrokken.

Van alle 37 songfestivalartiesten was alleen de Israëlische zangeres Eden Golan er niet bij. Zij sloeg het evenement over omdat zondag in Israël de Holocaust wordt herdacht. Vermoedelijk speelde ook de beveiliging rond de Israëlische delegatie een rol.
