Tonight is the first semi-final of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria. Sarah Engels is also there – and is already practicing hard at the dress rehearsal. The singer came up with a daring stunt for her performance. We will now tell you which action Sarah Engels wants to convince the audience with.
Daring stunt! Sarah Engels drops two meters for her victory
A first glimpse of her dress rehearsal on Monday afternoon shows that Sarah Engels absolutely wants to take home the glass microphone trophy from the ESC 2026. There the singer warms up the audience with a sexy costume change, in which the dancers tear Sarah Engels' white dress off her body and reveal a glittering body, as Bild reports. However, that is not the only show highlight. Because the singer dares a risky stunt that keeps the audience in suspense.
In the middle of her performance, while standing on a podium, Sarah Engels suddenly turns around and falls backwards. The singer falls from a height of two meters and lands in the arms of her four dancers – a huge challenge for the former DSDS candidate.

“In the beginning it was of course an extreme effort to let go“, Sarah Engels admits to Bild, who was there live. The fall height bothered the singer, especially at the beginning. “When you stand up there, it's already very high,” explains the singer and emphasizes: “We're talking about a little over two meters.”
