What did everyone think of Paris 2024? I thought it was excellent! I found some echoes of 'Pandemonium' during the rebuilding of Notre Dame section!
-
12 years later and this is still the greatest olympic opening segment in history
-
I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for the opening ceremony of London 2012 and during this segment, the whole of my body vibrated with the cacophony of sound. It was a complete assault on the senses, both visual and in what we were hearing. it is the greatest live event I have ever been to, and I still think it stands the test of time 12 years later.
-
Going to go out on a limb and say that overall this was the best live spectacle I've ever seen.
-
Even years later, watching this brings me to tears. What loss. What gain.
-
I started watching the Olympic openings after this. My hats off to ALL performers and chorographers of this.
-
Never forget this. I worked there during this and for 4 months during Olympics and Paralympics. Was so young and dumb as it was my first job. Amazing to witness; wish I had been a bit older in some ways when I worked there but also glad it forms one of my main teenage memories.

Thank you for putting this compilation together. I think we will look back in history and know that the 2012 London Olympics was probably the high point of the Olympic movement, certainly the Opening Ceremony. Don’t know how Paris 2024 will go but I think the Olympic movement and the ceremonies appear to changed forever.
-
Definitely one of the most impressive Opening Ceremonies in the history of the Olympics. Well done London - I continue to watch this years later because of how amazing the entire production was.
-
The absolute chills watching this all years later was best thing ever seen on tv
-
The best opening ceremony so far, and this was the best bit! Excellent job pulling the 4 source videos together!
-
wow, thank you for the Director's cut. I remember seeing it on BBC America but never saw it all the times I have watched this online. Thank you for uplaoding it.
-
Nothing beats the opening ceremony of the Paris Games. Much more daring, transgressive and incredibly set to music! Stunning !
-
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS. I've been looking for this exact kind of video of this. <3
-
Honestly I love everything about this performance, so many volunteers all doing their part to make it look good, the music, and how well it matches events and the fact everything just comes together even though there was so much going on in that stadium. Bit pompous maybe - but it's what we're known for so...may as well go for it!
-
thank you very much, what a ceremony it was ! truly amazing
-
Directors cut even more amazing
-
Nice work. I'll share this with my 2012 Ceremonies colleagues!
-
Was favourite bit of that night still 12 years later still amazing
-
I remembered had to wake up at 3am just to watch this live
