Speaking on LTV this morning, Atvara has explained how her performance of “Ēnā” has evolved for the Eurovision Song Contest stage.
In an interview with the Latvian broadcaster, Atvara has given a couple of new details on her performance for Eurovision 2026. She explained that the team behind her Supernova performance was joined by a team from the Latvian broadcaster to elevate the performance for Vienna, adding, “Of course, we fixed some things that we thought might need to be [polished] technically”. While not going into specifics, she explained,
“The entire performance has to be adapted to the stage accordingly. So we’ve tweaked some details, left some out, but you’ll see what it looks like in the end at Eurovision.”
One element that we do now know more about is the outfit that Atvara will be wearing in Vienna. Stylist Inna Bertāne revealed that Atvara has a new dress for the contest;
“She will have another dress, which will be decorated with sparkling stones. I had a big bag at home with 20,000 stones – I could barely stretch it!
They have now been delivered to the Kreona salon to be sewn onto the dress. Maybe they won’t all be used, and I hope that Atvara will be able to tolerate this outfit on stage.
In any case, her image and performance will be more dramatic than in the Supernova finale. Let’s dazzle Europe!”
Atvara was selected to represent Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 after winning Supernova 2026. She won both the jury and public votes in the final. Find out more about Atvara below:
Latvia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000, being the last of the Baltic nations to join the contest. On their debut, Brainstorm finished in 3rd place with the song “My Star”. Latvia won the contest for the first time in 2002, with Marie N’s “I Wanna”. Latvia only participated in 2002 thanks to the withdrawal of Portugal from the contest, as Latvia’s poor result in 2001 had relegated them from the 2002 contest. Latvia struggled in the contest after 2002, failing to qualify for the final for six years in a row between 2009 and 2014. After a non-qualification streak that lasted 7 years, Latvia eventually qualified in 2024 with Dons and “Hollow”.
