Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan Lacks Snow, Highlights Cultural Show
The opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan featured a variety of highlights, including a Leonardo da Vinci-inspired cauldron lighting and a performance by Mariah Carey. However, the event was notably lacking in snow, a key element of the Winter Games. Instead, a smaller venue in the city hosted 'Slava’s Snowshow,' a production by Russian clown and artist Slava Polunin, which provided a winter wonderland experience with paper snow. The show, running until February 22, coincides with the Olympics and offers a unique cultural experience alongside the main events.
