2000 Sydney Opening & Closing Ceremonies

September 2000

There have been major changes personally and professionally since we started Barcelona I am sadly the only musketeer alive now.

Losing Ron in ‘96 and Judy to cancer in ‘99. Sydney was bitter sweet to begin with, and to top it all off it was the BIGGEST show of my life 12,500 performers in the Opening Ceremony only!

A young country by any standard with a drive and determination that is seemingly unstoppable. A human powered show and the first time we took to the sky and brought the magic up 40 meters up in the air, turning the stadium into the Great Barrier Reef. The Nature segment was a personal favorite, and the MADNESS of the TIN segment (mind blowing).

Kylie and Tina, two amazing Aussie stars with power and passion and a graceful humility that makes them shine brighter.

Sydney by far my most loved city to live in, where else can you live on the greatest beach in the world – Bondi – and be in the middle of the Biggest city in OZ, where “no worries mate” is a great motto to live by.
