All eyes on paris as Olympic opening ceremony holds today

The 33rd Olympics Opening ceremony promises to be a spectacle with a new dimension to entertainment or better style an innovation.

Instead of a traditional march into a stadium, around 300,000 people will watch from the banks of the River Seine as a parade of some 10,000 athletes takes place not in a stadium, but on boats for each team. The ceremony finale will take place at the Trocadero.

No Olympic Games has held an opening ceremony like this before, so expect something completely different.

There is no sport scheduled at the Games on Friday, clearing the path for the ceremony to be the centre of attention

More than 90 boats will be in use for the opening ceremony, carrying not only the athletes but also a range of performers that you will see throughout the evening.

Theatre director, Thomas Jolly, who is the show’s artistic director, has pointed out there is no way to fully rehearse the show on the river.

Prepare To See Captivatiing Innovations!

Instead, parts of the ceremony have been practised inside giant hangars and the boat captains are reported to have been rehearsing at a sailing centre.

Certainly one of the highlights will be the expected return to stage of Canadian Singer, Celine Dion, who has already been contracted to sing a song for $2million. Lady Gaga is also reportedly in town for the opening ceremony.

Expectedly French President, Emmanuel Macron, will deliver opening remarks. All eyes will be on Paris tonight!
