Mariah Carey is the first major music icon of the Opening Ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, scheduled for 6 February 2026 at the San Siro Olympic Stadium in Milano.
Recognised worldwide for her unmistakable voice and for a musical legacy that spans generations and cultures, Mariah Carey perfectly embodies the emotional spirit of the Games.
In this context, music, a universal language that bridges stories and perspectives, intertwines with the main theme of the Opening Ceremony: Armonia. At the San Siro Olympic Stadium, this principle will take shape through an encounter of cultures, creativity and participation.
Sport, with its values of equality, respect and inclusion, amplifies this narrative, transforming Harmony into a shared experience**. Together, music and sport will give life to an Olympic Opening Ceremony where Harmony becomes an expression of collective energy**, a symbolic space where communities come together, transcend boundaries and recognize themselves as part of the same vibrant momentum of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Mariah Carey’s participation further underscores the international breadth of the Ceremony and its messages.
The Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony, created and produced by Balich Wonder Studio, will be an unforgettable experience: a collective embrace weaving together Italian Spirit, innovation, emotion, and performances by world-renowned artists. A one-of-a-kind event designed to surprise, unite, and leave an enduring memory for audiences across the globe.
