Beijing Olympic Anthem 2008
The ceremony was directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou, who was the chief director and was assisted by Chinese choreographers Zhang Jigang and Chen Weiya. The director of music for the ceremony was composer Chen Qigang.
It was noted for its focus on ancient Chinese culture, and for its creativity, as well as being the first to use weather modification technology to prevent rainfall. The final ascent to the torch featured Olympic gymnast Li Ning, who appeared to run through air around the stadium.
Featuring more than 15,000 performers, the ceremony lasted over four hours. The opening ceremony was enjoyed by spectators and various international presses as spectacular and spellbinding and by many people said it was "the greatest ever".

    At both Olympiads taking place in Beijing, Chinese kids had to learn a new language, Greek, in order to sing the Olympic anthem

    The Chinese children choir in their traditional dress of all 56 tribes singing the original Greek anthem, made it sound a soul-touching conversation between these two great ancient civilizations, transcending time and space, bridging history and reality.

      INDEED the Chinese children in 2022 repeated the achievement of singing the Olympic Anthem in its original greek as the Greek poet Costis Palamas wrote it for the first modern Olympics in Athen in 1996! WELL DONE CHINA!

    Thank you China for respecting the Olympic Hymn and singing the original Greek lyrics! Shame on everyone else being lazy and choosing to sing their own language version....

      Greek should be the only language to sing the Olympic Anthem. Written and composed by Greeks to honour the games introduced by Greeks.

      It's not about them being lazy; every host country has its reason why it chooses whether one version or the other.

      It's an effort to make the Olympic anthem available in other language of various host countries not just Greece. I don't think that's lazy or disrespectful for the anthem but it reflects the international adaption of the hymn that it can sound beautiful in any language so one may understand in their own language. The Greek lyrics make it more significant when the Olympics are held back in its home country Greece or in homage to the ancient Greek Olympics as well as honor to their Greek God, Zeus. "Descend with a rod of lightning"

  • @yudeesaetang7468
    @yudeesaetang7468 10 років тому

    I dont' think this is lip sync. It's real. I also can sing chorus and also in chorus group. People can do over self-capacities more than their thinking. Practice can make this performance go perfect, right?

    • @fredrikrugby
      @fredrikrugby 7 років тому

      I learned to sing the anthem too so I reckon at that time a lot of students or kids were learning to sing it. Of course we couldn't get every sound right but still it sounded beautiful as choir. I this it's real too because I have seen Chinese students sing just as well as these kids.

    I was in the Stadium that night in 2008, also in 2004 in Athens. Sung in the original Greek and in the full version as intended, not in a truncated, orchestrated, or stupid translation. Hear THIS London, Vancouver, Torino et al, and be ASHAMED of your ridiculous rock shows!
