Turin, 15 December (LaPresse) – Mariah Carey is the first major international guest of the Opening Ceremony of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, scheduled for 6 February 2026 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. ‘The American star will be one of the protagonists, enriching the opening night with an iconic performance,’ reads a statement from the organisers. “Recognised worldwide for her unmistakable voice and musical production that spans generations and cultures, Mariah Carey fully embodies the emotional atmosphere that accompanies the journey towards the Games.
