San Marino will be performing 3rd in the upcoming Second Semi Final this Thursday. The country is represented by Anita Simoncini & Michele Perniola with the song Chain Of Lights. Are there any changes since the country’s first rehearsal? What is the impression left by the song amongst the other entries in the running order? We try to answer your questions reporting live from inside the hall of Wiener Stadthalle.
As far as the rehearsal is concerned, quite disconcertingly, there are still some clumsy camera shots.The fact that the stage is lit for the most part in similar colours to those used for Ireland (dark orange) is not ideal but, whereas the staging for Ireland looked all cramped and cosy, the one for San Marino makes the stage look bigger and sparser. San Marino still feels a bit loose. However the presentation has its sweet moments and – I may come to regret saying this later on -, contrary to what just about everyone else is saying, I would not write San Marino off just yet.

After four unsuccessful attempts in the semi finals, San Marino at last managed to qualify to the final last year.
