Estonia: It’s all opera for Princess Elina

Elina Nechayeva is a renowned opera singer and she’s taking the Eurovision stage with a very Eurovision number. Estonia has put a heap of effort into the staging for this one, but for Princess Elina, it’s all about the music.

She chatted with Michael about Disney princesses and her thoughts about a Eurovision competition for opera.

Who knows – we might even see her in Melbourne soon. Hamer Hall anyone?

See Elina perform La Forza in Semi 1 on Wednesday 9 May on SBS:

Live show at 5am AEST

Prime time show at 7:30pm AEST
