The homage to Opera was stunning. You can tell this is a different team which did the opening. Also i praised Balich for avoiding led projections in the opening yet here we are 🤣 I guess Balich saved the projections for this closing ceremony LOL. I did not mind them not using projections for the opening ceremony Quote

Just that part has already surpassed Paris’ entire closing ceremony (sorry Paris, I still suffer PTSD from that) That closing was horrid. Jolly knows absolutely nothing about pacing. 1 Quote

yoshi Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 1 minute ago, Ikarus360 said: It will set a precedent now because it seems the 2030 opening ceremony will be at Lyon. I thought Lyon was anti the whole thing? If they're now ok with it, surely hold the whole thing there ffs (Also we really don't come to Italy to hear a mellow anthem lol) Quote
Ikarus360 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Going back to the opera gives me Italia 90 vibes (where they performed Va Pensiero in the Teatro a la Scala and projected it at the screens of San Siro) Quote
Bear Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 they're doing a great job balancing out the location scenes Quote
Sir Rols Posted February 22 Author Report Posted February 22 So, are the flag bearers the only athletes who will be attending: Quote
Rob2012 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 The anthem was slow in the opening, also slow in the closing. The most brilliantly energetic anthem flattened twice. 2 1 Quote
Bear Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Ughhh they're going to an ad break, someone tell me what's happening after the anthem Quote

dreamyeyes12 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Nice pacing of this closing ceremony so far. Quote

yoshi Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Very nice piece of comms from Hazel, to show the meeting of ancient Greece and Rome. I guess that's why we're here Quote

yoshi Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 (Also just realised what we're seeing - the flame being lit at a CLOSING. That is weird Quote

Bear Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Looks like the Olympic Rings will serve as Verona's in-arena cauldron? Based on what NBC said. Quote
