Norway’s Eurovision 2025 representatives, Kyle Alessandro, held his second rehearsal in Basel with the song “Lighter“. Stay tuned for all updates from Switzerland.
Kyle Alessandro, Norway’s representative, is the eighth act to have his second rehearsal today on the Eurovision 2025 stage with his song “Lighter“. Kyle will perform as song number 8 in the first semi-final, scheduled for May 13th.
In the video, Kyle appears during the quieter part of the performance. A dim blue light washes over him, and on stage, beams can be seen behind him, held at angles. As the song intensifies, the stage bursts into flames, and next to Kyle is another dancer, performing flips across the stage.
Stage Design
The giant LED screens display graphics of mountains in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere, connecting to the prominent mountain motif featured this year in the contest.
One of the most notable upgrades is a mobile lighting system installed on the ceiling of the stage, which descends during the second part of the song. At the quiet moment following the dance section, Kyle stands center stage with hundreds of focused spotlights on him-creating a powerful and impressive visual moment that elevates the performance to a particularly high level.
