Who is hosting the Opening Ceremony?
Today‘s Savannah Guthrie and NBC Olympics’ Mike Tirico are set to host the Opening Ceremony, simply as they did last year throughout the 2020 Summer Olympics.
What can we get out of the Opening Ceremony?
Acclaimed movie director Zhang Yimou is managing the production, which will include 3,000 entertainers and run less than 100 minutes– much shorter than typical– according to state-run news outlet Xinhua.
“The scale and duration have been cut, and there is no longer a large-scale theatrical performance segment,” stated Zhang, as reported by Variety “We’ve substantially decreased the variety of entertainers, and [instead] utilize innovation to make [the stage] less congested, however not empty. Technology and brand-new ideas will make it feel complete, heavenly and romantic.”
Additionally, the Olympic Cauldron will be lit in such a way that’s “unprecedented in the over 100-year history of the Olympic Games,” Zhang informed Xinhua.
