Cyprus’ Harry Georgiou completes first Junior Eurovision rehearsal in Malta

Valletta, Malta. Harry Georgiou, representing Cyprus at Junior Eurovision 2026, has finished his opening technical rehearsal in Malta, his representatives reported on Monday. He ran through his song WHO I CAN BE three times during the session.

First experience on stage

According to the representatives, Sunday’s rehearsal gave Harry his first chance to familiarise himself with the stage and collaborate with the production crew.

They said that, despite the anticipation of some early nerves, he soon became comfortable. A team welcoming the contestants supported him, with an emphasis on making the experience enjoyable.

Presentation remains under wraps

The Cypriot delegation has not disclosed the details of the staging. Its representatives said the initial photographs reveal only a limited part of the planned presentation, leaving further surprises for later.

They described a combination of lightning, graphics and a visual environment designed to support both the message of the song and Harry’s delivery. The rehearsal also enabled the team to review how the elements worked together and determine whether changes were necessary before the live broadcast.

Second rehearsal on Tuesday

Harry is due back on stage on Tuesday for the second Cypriot technical session. Representatives expect that rehearsal to reveal more about the performance.
