And all this with a host and lyrics to follow along, so that every amateur singer, Eurovision fan, and singing talent can join in with enthusiasm. Because even more than listening together, singing together brings us closer to people who, at first glance, seem very different from us. And isn’t that exactly what the ESC is all about, with this year’s motto “United by Music”? A motto that has always held true at the Volksoper: people from over 30 nations on and off stage make it the perfect match when the world comes to Vienna to celebrate this unique musical event.
