The stage design for Pesma za Evroviziju 25 (PZE25) has been revealed.
With Semi-Final One set for this Wednesday, Serbian broadcaster RTS has shared a promotional video showcasing the final stage design and construction process. This year’s festival theme, “Art Planeta”, follows the idea that every human is a masterpiece. The stage features large curved screens, resembling blank canvases, inviting each participant to bring their artistic vision to life.
Rehearsals began earlier this week, with artists preparing their final performances in RTS Studios.
