Correct answer

1973

Explanation

All the singing must be live, but since 1973, it has been allowed to use previously taped music. Nevertheless, until 1999, a live orchestra was still available as part of the show. In 2010, Norway tried to reintroduce it, but there was neither interest nor economy to support this.
