Here’s What Happened at the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics 2026

The Games officially started at Milan’s San Siro Stadium on Friday (Feb. 6), with a show that included performances of Mariah Carey, Laura Pausini, and Andrea Bocelli.

The Winter Olympics of Milano Cortina 2026 is the major event that perpetuates Milan's renewed international momentum, which began more than a decade ago with Expo 2015. It's also a strategic opportunity for Italy in a geopolitical context where international relations are rapidly changing.

This is why last night (Friday, Feb. 6), all eyes were on the Opening Ceremony of Milano Cortina 2026, which took place across the various venues of this edition of the Games – Cortina d'Ampezzo, Predazzo, and Livigno – but centered at Milan’s San Siro Stadium. t was a three-and-a-half-hour mega-show created by Balich Wonder Studio, which specializes in the creative direction of major events and with extensive expertise in Olympic ceremonies.
