Conchita Wurst:
Waking in the rubble
Walking over glass
Neighbors say we're trouble
Well that time has passed
Peering from the mirror
No, that isn't me
A stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be
You wouldn't know me at all today
from the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution you were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame
Go about your business
Act as if you're free
No one could have witnessed
What you did to me
'Cause you wouldn't know me today
And you have got to see
To believe
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution, you were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
I rise up to the sky

Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
'Cause you're my flame

This will always be THE BEST EVER OPENING of an Eurovision. When that stage opens to reveal the orchestra - JUST WOW.

[@jorgemedrano5508]

June 2023 and still watching this historic jewel...amazing musical production, great use of technology and of course, the perfect touch of Conchita Wurst!!

[@erice.7921]

I watch this over and over and the overwhelming feeling of amazement at the spectacular production! This will absolutely go down is history. Fantastic job, Austria!

[@paddawan_]

So fricking great, it makes me cry with joy

[@peeryoutube]

Ever since covid the openings have all felt so similar, this year the opening was pretty cool but it's not as good as 2014-2016. I hope Sweden manages to raise the level again.

[@NJ5810]

This was the best Eurovision show in years!

[@elisabethderu1817]

Probably the best Eurovision winner ever (and I'm a huge ABBA fan!). Also this opening is just so grand. The orchestration in every sense is sublime.

[@littlemissj3110]

Agreed

[@thlovesmee]

It honestly reminded me of The Hunger Games! lol

Gosh.. No one can beat Conchita's elegance and gracefulness.

[@Irene-bm1xw]

By far the best stage design and opening in eurovision

This is camp in every sense of the word. And it brings me tears of joy every time I rewatch this.

[@danocampo3852]

I am always awed by the simplicity but grandiousness of how Europeans go about letting the world know that they are one of the best or simply the best when it comes to almost everything. THANK YOU for making our world a happier place to live. LOVE and BLESSINGS from The Philippines.

[@1baerliner]

An in deed remarkable opening ceremony including last years winner and while sinning making open that „bridge“ for the new contestants to their upcoming stage. Good scenery, perfect orchestration, nice hosts and and enthusiastic crowd. I will never forget this. I was one of them somewhere in the middle very close to the “bridge”.

[@radharose99]

Very cinematic and elegant. Also the last part with announcing the new winner, like a movie.

[@dominicrozama5920]
