The highlight of the night's artistic show was when world-famous Italian artist Andrea Bocelli took the stage. Bocelli sang Puccini's masterpiece opera Turandot to accompany the final few legs of the torch relay inside the stadium, drawing thunderous cheers from the crowd.
As the Olympic flag was raised, the Olympic anthem rang out across San Siro with Chinese pianist Lang Lang performing a solo to the voice of Italian opera singer Cecilia Bartoli.
