北京奥运会的闭幕式会和开幕式一样恢宏难忘。
一位闭幕式的导演告诉一家上海网站,世界著名的西班牙男高音多明戈将在闭幕式上,与家喻户晓的中国女高音宋祖英表演二重唱。这无疑会使原本华丽的舞台更加星光闪耀。
和开幕式不同,闭幕式是在男子马拉松比赛结束之后的8个小时之内举行,是没有任何彩排的。
虽然,闭幕式的演出内容还是个谜团,但是报道中提及,由350人的组成的功夫表演是一项重要内容,另外还有60人将在现场表演中国传统弦乐——二胡。
奥运会主办方已经做好应急预案,防止意外事件的发生,闭幕式上最大的威胁就是下 雨。雨水会使闭幕式表演中的一部分被迫取消或者进行调整。据悉,闭幕式也会在国家体育场“鸟巢”举行,并且在交接仪式上,本次奥运会主办方会为2012年 的主办城市伦敦空出8分钟的舞蹈表演时间。
英国《每日镜报》已经揭秘,在这段表演时间内,英国足球明星贝克汉姆将闪亮登 场。他会在登上伦敦标志性的红色双层巴士顶层的时候,向看台上的观众踢出一个代表“来自伦敦的邀请”的足球。当大家倒数2012年伦敦奥运会倒计时开始的 时候,众多英国舞者会表演芭蕾舞以及霹雳舞。
英国首相布朗将出席闭幕式,并将代表伦敦接过奥林匹克运动会会旗。
据英国广播公司(BBC)消息,相关人士说由英国参与的这一部分,与整体的奥运会闭幕式相比,会显得稍为古板,但是不失幽默。
