I have the opening ceremony of Albertville in very good memories - it was really extraordinary!!!
I like the way how the different sports were "introduced" to the audience - I remember a kind of rocker, which was used for luge - the rocker became a chute - and the luge dashed out of the rocker/chute and slider over the floor of the stadium...
Or the fantastic extravagant costumes - my favourite ones, where the stilt walker in red with white gallons, which hovered over their heads..
And I loved the idea of the snowball bubble ladies, with the name of the entering nation during the entrance ceremony!!!

Here is Magique!
about the cauldron, it's very difficult to say, I think it is one of the (many
) secondary cauldrons (may be the one in Val d'Isère), I really don't know but it still looks beautiful!
