REMARKS:


Indonesian - Latvian clash. Old- versus new- world tug of war.


The first (?) post-Covid EGP finale.

- Outside: 104 °F = 40  °C

- In the nonclimatised theatre so much more, it flowed like cats and dogs.

- On the stage within the choir: infernissimo


Super-mass-spreader concert - super-hopefully not.


Some time ago Turkish choir absented, this year the Chinese one.
