If you happened to miss the opening ceremony you can read a write up on the proceedings here..
The writer of that writeup sums up his opinion of the ceremony thus …
- Scored highly on the insane costumes
- Scored highly on tenuous links with cultural history of nation (can-can, piaf)
- Scored highly on attractive backdrop
- Moderate on the annoying plastic techno music
- Moderate on the absence of overblown narrative (needed more baffling storytelling)
- Lacked weird environmental/one world/children mumbo jumbo
- No Diana Ross moment
..and so on.
And i missed it 🙁
