ROME, Dec 15, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - US pop star Mariah Carey will sing at the 
opening ceremony of the Milan-Cortina winter Olympics on February 6, 
organisers announced on Monday.

Carey, one of the top selling artists in the world, is the first 
international guest announced for the ceremony at Milan's San Siro stadium.

In a statement, organisers said her music was "capable of crossing 
generations and cultures", and reflected the emotion and atmosphere of the 
event.

The Olympic torch is currently winding its way across Italy ahead of the 
Games, which take place between February 6 and 22 across a large area of 
northern Italy.

The Paralympic Winter Games follow from March 6 to 15.
