Winter Olympics 2026: Singer L. Pausini to Perform at Opening Ceremony

Italian singer and songwriter Laura Pausini will be among the top artists performing at the opening ceremony of the Milano/Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics (6-22/2), organizers announced yesterday. Pausini, one of Italy's most internationally recognized artists, has promoted her country's music to a global audience and has received significant awards, including a Grammy, five Latin Grammys, and a Golden Globe, as well as an Oscar nomination. The opening ceremony will take place on February 6 at the San Siro stadium in Milan and will feature performances by international artists such as American pop superstar Mariah Carey, as well as elements honoring Italian culture and innovation. The event has set 'Harmony' as its central theme, and Pausini's music is considered to embody this concept. The Milano/Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics will be held throughout northern Italy, with competitions taking place in Milan, Cortina d'Ampezzo, and other venues in Lombardy, Veneto, and Trentino-Alto Adige. The event is expected to attract millions of spectators and offer a unique experience for athletes and fans.
