The “Eurovision” European music competition opened in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on Sunday May 16th, which gathered delegations from 34 of the 39 countries participating in the competition.
The opening ceremony of the competition was televised for delegations that were unable to come to Rotterdam due to the “Covid-19” epidemic.
For example, the Australian singer, Montan, who did not come to Rotterdam will participate in the competition remotely and has sent a music video call.

It is reported that, Russian singer Manega will participate in the first semi-final, which will be held on May 18. The final round will take place on May 22.
