Following this initial session, the contestant has another rehearsal scheduled for Wednesday [4]. These preparations are designed to refine the performance before the first semifinal, which is scheduled for May 12, 2024 [3].
Bettan and the Israeli delegation arrived in Vienna to prepare for the high-stakes competition [3]. The primary goal of these rehearsals is to ensure a seamless performance that can secure a spot in the grand final on May 16, 2024 [3].
The 70th edition of the contest brings together performers from across Europe and beyond to compete for the title in a series of semifinal rounds, and a final showcase [3].
