The Show

The Grand Final was an amazing show. It started with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra from the garden of Schönbrunn Palace, and a look back at Conchita's victory last year. In the arena, a violinist played "Rise Like a Phoenix" together with a symphonic orchestra.

Conchita sang the song "Building Bridges", and was flying (yes, she can fly!) to the stage while she was singing. On stage she was joined by Vienna Boys' Choir, the multinational Suparar Choir and the Austrian rapper Left Boy. And the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 had begun.

After the 27 performances the voting lines opened for 15 minutes, while two recaps were shown. In between the recaps an explosion of music combining percussion, jazz, classical, swing and choral singing, including 40 instrumentalists and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir was entertaining.

The interval act included a sequence where the Green Room is changing color to Rainbow Room. After the voting lines closed, Conchita was on stage singing her song "We Are Unstoppable" followed by her new single "Firestorm".
