PARIS – The grand spectacle of the Olympic Games concluded with all its splendor and charm. The closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics was held at the Stade de France stadium. The event kicked off before dusk with a dramatic balloon display hanging beneath the Olympic squad in Paris, featuring a dramatic fire created by electricity and LED spotlights.
The closing ceremony began with a science fiction-inspired light show, featuring numerous space creatures in golden costumes moving against a dark and barren future backdrop. These space beings dazzled the audience with their spectacular stunts involving the Olympic rings. French break-dancer Arthur Cadre enhanced the performance with his beautiful dance, surrounded by hundreds of dancers and acrobats while athletes from the Olympic Games watched from the stage.
The background was enchanted by the captivating tunes of Swiss musician Alain Roche, filling the entire stadium with magic. Following this, French singer Basilett delivered a stunning performance of “My Way,” a song originally recorded in English. French electro-pop band Phoenix took the stage next, featuring a music set with Belgian singer Angèle and Cambodian rapper Vanda.
The dramatic pyrotechnic finale was in stark contrast to the historic, technicolor opening ceremony held two weeks earlier along the banks of the Seine River. France achieved record sales of tickets and TV rights revenue from the Paris Olympics. The closing ceremony was directed by renow.
