ABOUT THE SHOW :

 

The mythical Maracana Stadium was the scene of the opening of the XXXI Games. Nature, a traveling companion of Brazil throughout its history, as well as the melting pot of cultures that formed Brazilian society throughout history, centered a show designed by Fernando Meirelles.

The music and the dance had a special role with 'Aquele Abraco' by Gilberto Gil, the interpretation of the national anthem by the samba player Paulinho da Viola, 'La Chica de Ipanema', the traditional melody performed by Daniel Jobim, with Zeca Pagodinho and Marcelo Peixoto, and the rap of MC Soffia and Karol Conka and capoeira. The final leg of the ceremony before the parade of athletes, Rio 2016, recalled the threat that the planet is experiencing with a global warming that showed its consequences in the main capitals of the world. The legacy Rio wants is that of commitment to nature. Therefore, each athlete who entered the great parade of the Games deposited a seed to fight against deforestation and create a garden and Olympic forest in the area of ​​Deodoro. Gisele Bündchen made an appearance as 'The Girl of Ipanema', the traditional melody played by Daniel Jobim. The music and dance did not leave the ceremony, with Zeca Pagodinho and Marcelo Peixoto, and the rap of MC Soffia and Karol Conka and capoeira. 'Tropical Country' marked the rhythm of 1500 dancers, in almost as many other outfits.
