Eurovision 2025 – Greece: Klaudia advances to the final with "Asteromata"
Claudia's amazing performance with "Asteromata"
The young singer appeared 7th in the row, receiving a loud applause and appreciative comments on social media. With creative director Fokas Evangelinos, the stage presence rendered the central theme of the song with emotion and theatricality. The visual and artistic result was characterized by perfection and consistency, while her performance was excellent.
The performer's stage movement towards a rock symbolized the fiery path of each person towards the light, while the presence of the second person on stage, combined with the changes in the scenery, captured the separation described in "Asteromata". Throughout almost her entire performance, Claudia wore a black dress. At the end, however, the lights went out and within a few seconds the Greek singer took off her black and appeared in a white dress, stealing the show.
The second semi-final was broadcast live from Basel, Switzerland, on ERT1, starting at 22:00 Greek time. In addition to the contestants, the entries from Germany, France and the United Kingdom, which belong to the “Big 5”, with direct qualification to the final, appeared on stage. The announcement of the ten qualifiers was made with the new presentation system tested in the first semi-final: three countries were presented each time, with only one of them finally announced as qualified.
The grand final will take place on Saturday, May 17 at 22:00 Greek time, with the participation of 26 countries. In addition to Switzerland (host country) and the "Big 5", the ten countries from each semi-final advance to the final.
