Eurovision Song Contest - Copenhagen 2014

The popular Eurovision Song Contest, which began in 1956, has helped launch the careers of acts like Canada’s Celine Dion (who sang for Switzerland) and ABBA.

26 broadcasters are participating with their contestant in the Grand Final while juries and viewers in 37 participating countries will vote. But who will win the trophy?

The 2013 winner of the annual Eurovision song contest was Danish singer Emmelie de Forest with her ethno-inspired flute and drum tune Only Teardrops:

Metropolitan Opera: Eugene Onegin [Tchaikovsky] Encore Presentation
Saturday, April 7th, 2007 at 1:30 pm

An encore presentation of the February 24th broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera
The beloved American soprano Renee Fleming joins with Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky for this broadcast of Tchaikovsky’s lyrical Eugene Onegin. The sweeping dramatic arc of this opera – youthful longing, rejection, regret, a desperate plea that comes too late – is perfectly mirrored in Tchaikovsky’s achingly beautiful music and in the gorgeous lighting of this strikingly minimal production. Running time: approximately 3 hours (includes 1 intermission)
