Today rehearsals for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 are continuing. Countries rehearsing on Day 4 include Ireland, North Macedonia, Estonia, Romania, Poland , Montenegro, Belgium, Sweden and Czech Republic. Next to rehearse today was Poland’s Ochman.
Ochman’s first rehearsal
The next act to take to the Eurovision 2022 stage at the Pala Alpitour in Turin was Poland’s Ochman. He will sing the song “River” at Eurovision 2022 after he was selected to represent Poland earlier this year.
Following Ochman’s first rehearsal a clip of his rehearsal was posted on TikTok. The clip showed him before and after he took to the Eurovision stage for the first time. The clip also gave us some insight into how well his rehearsal went.
What did we learn about Ochman’s staging?
Unsurprisingly, Ochman takes to the stage in a stylish black suit. What is a surprise, however, is that he is joined by dancers. The four dancers are wearing black, fringed outfits and masks. The graphics resemble water, while the stage lights flash to complete the ethereal staging package.

Since then, Poland has participated 23 times (14 of which was in the Grand Final). Poland’s recent Eurovision participation, saw them being represented by RAFAŁ, who competed with “The Ride”, where he managed to place 14th with 35 points from the Jury and Televoters.
