Israeli Eurovision representative Yuval Raphael revealed today (Tuesday) the outfit she will wear on the Eurovision stage. In a post published to the official Eurovision Instagram account, Yuval is seen wearing a black tailored suit, designed especially for her by renowned Israeli designer Victor (Vivi) Bellaish.<\/p>\n

First Rehearsal on the Eurovision Stage<\/strong>
\nLess than 24 hours after landing, Yuval took to the stage in Basel for her first rehearsal ahead of the Eurovision contest.<\/p>\n

At the heart of her performance is a breathtaking chandelier, standing 5.5 meters tall and 3.5 meters in diameter, adorned with hundreds of crystals\u2014a visual continuation of the official music video\u2019s aesthetic. The chandelier ends in a two-meter-high balcony, a symbolic homage to the historic balcony where Theodor Herzl stood in Basel in 1897.<\/p>\n

Yuval performed alone on stage, with no dancers or onstage companions.<\/strong>
\nYoav Tzafir, director of the Israeli delegation, shared: “I\u2019m stunned by Yuval\u2019s professionalism! Let me remind you\u2014just six months ago, she had never even stood on a stage!”<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll Be in the Hearts of Every Israeli Home<\/strong>
\nYesterday (Monday), Yuval met with President Isaac Herzog at the President\u2019s Residence in Jerusalem. President Herzog addressed Yuval with heartfelt words: \u201cThere\u2019s a national consensus around you. You have a wonderful personality, and your story is amazing. When you go up on stage, remember\u2014you\u2019ll be in the hearts of every Israeli household and every Jew around the world. We are very proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president and his wife Michal wished her great success.<\/p>\n

Yuval shared her emotions ahead of the performance: \u201cOn the one hand, I\u2019m coming to work with the intention and desire to win. But on the other hand, I can\u2019t help but feel like I\u2019ve already won\u2014just by being there and having the privilege to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
