Olympic Opening Ceremony

Cheesy 80's American pop music. Amazing choreography. A circus act. Famous Italian celebrities such as Giorgio Albertazzi, Sofia Loren, and Luciano Pavarotti (who concluded the evening with Nessun Dorma). Members of the About Italian Language forum debate whether the Cerimonia di Apertura (Opening Ceremonies) was an exciting, spectacular show, or an unappealing, embarrassing mishmash.
