"The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 are almost ready to give a hearty "ciao" to the world. The Opening Ceremony is taking place on February 6, beginning at 2 p.m. ET. The big news is that the 2026 ceremony will be the first Opening Ceremony in the Olympics' history to have two separate Olympic cauldrons - one in Milan at Arco della Pace, and one in Cortina d'Ampezzo. With the theme "harmony," the ceremony will take place in multiple towns across Italy"
"The first performer that the Olympics confirmed was American pop star Mariah Carey. Carey has not ever performed at the Olympics before, but her song "100%" was used as one of the theme songs for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. "Mariah Carey fully represents the emotional atmosphere that accompanies the run-up to the Games," the Olympic committee said to explain its decision. "Music is a universal language that attracts different stories and sensibilities, and intertwines with the opening ceremony's theme of harmony.""
"Andrea Bocelli The iconic Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli will perform at the Olympics for the second time. His first time was in 2006, which was the last time Italy hosted the Olympics for the Torino Winter Games, and he sang at the Closing Ceremony. Laura Pausini Laura Pausini is a beloved singer-songwriter who has been an Italian icon since her 1993 debut single "La solitudine.""
