During the performance, two completely different music styles are linked together, namely classical music and the Netherlands’ best export product: dance music. In the first part of the act, the focus is on a film directed by successful director Tim Oliehoek. Not only Afrojack and the classical orchestra play a role in this, but also singer Wulf. With this they succeed Madonna, who provided the interval act two years ago.
In this film, the center of Rotterdam is used and the famous Erasmus Bridge is central. From the big stage in Rotterdam Ahoy, Afrojack and Glennis Grace bring the act to a musical climax live, while the classical orchestra plays on.

With this act we want to send all the energy from Rotterdam to Europe and literally reconnect. Not only between the viewers, but also with two unique music styles: the famous Dutch dance music and the sound of the classical orchestra. “
He is therefore very happy that Glennis, Afrojack and Wulf want to represent the Netherlands. “We want to show the best of the Netherlands during this edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. We do this not only with Afrojack, but also with top vocal talents such as Wulf and Glennis Grace”, he says. “It is also special to see how director Tim Oliehoek puts his teeth into this unique project. In my opinion, he too is one of the best in the Netherlands. The orchestra was specially composed for the Grand Final and consists of young talent. After this special event. years I hope that during this unique act all of Europe can forget the bad times for a while. “
