Today it is 25 years ago that Carola had her great break-through in Melodifestivalen with the song ”Främling”. She was 16 years old at the time and the show was seen by millions of Swedish viewers.
It all took place at Palladium theatre in Malmö, and that is where Carola makes a special performance tonight before a specially chosen audience. No tickets have been for sale, instead the audience is made out of lucky winners from different competitions and specially invited people that have been important to Carola in her life and career.
"In May 1991 I was seventeen and as a huge ESC fan I was watching the festival from Rome when Carola Häggkvist from Sverige ran onto the stage with her powerful voice, beautiful smile and eyes, singing and dancing 'Fångad av en stormvind'. She captured my heart instantly, and I knew she's going to win."
