First rehearsal Azerbaijan

Only two rehearsals left today with Azerbaijan being one of them. Dihaj just had her first run. During a big part of the performance she's singing against a black wall with some words in white (from the lyric) written on it. There's also a ladder used as a prop, with a man on it, which is a thing I totally didn't get.
Vocally it sounded fine except the long notes in the chorus hurt my ears most of the times. Hoping for improvements in the next runs!

The second time I noticed this wall I mentioned is actually more some kind of box, and she also writes on it. Later the box is brought down and the man on the ladder with the horse mask takes off his mask. At this point the backings become visible as well. Still not sure about the soundmix, the backing vocals are a bit too loud in my opinion but these kind of things are often to be arranged in later rehearsals.

I must say the first part of the song when the camera is zoomed in on the box looks really good on camera.

Some words on the outfit: Dihaj is wearing a long beige rain coat that she takes off in the last part to reveal a black / golden top and black pants. I have the impression the backings didn't wear their full costumes, but they will most likely be in black with long coats as well.
