Georgia's Sopho did not wear her costume at today's rehearsal. Neither did her four dancers, but they were, of course, once again equipped with their swords on the back. Probably due to yesterday's incident where a dancer accidentally managed to break a part of the stage, the sword fight during the performance was only practised in a couple of the takes. Sopho's vocal performance was very strong today, but there were some problems with the sound. These problems were discussed a lot with the Finnish producers in between the rehearsals.

At today's press conference, Sopho expressed that she is thrilled about her reception in Helsinki. Moreover, she explained that her backing dancers are from the Georgian national ballet, and the fact that the dancers put the swords down on the floor in the end of the performance symbolises that Georgia is willing to live in peace with their neighbouring countries.
