Director: Beijing Games opening ceremony downsized www.nhk.or.jp
Chinese film director Zhang Yimou has announced that the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics will be much smaller than that of the 2008 Summer Games held in the capital, because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Zhang has been appointed chief director of the Games' opening and closing ceremonies, reprising his role in the 2008 Olympics.
The acclaimed director told state-run media that he is honored and excited.
He said the opening ceremony on February 4 at the National Stadium, known as the Bird's Nest, will feature about 3,000 performers and last less than 100 minutes.
The number of performers is one-fifth that of the 2008 ceremony and the length is less than half.
Zhang cited anti-infection measures and cold weather as reasons for downsizing.
With less than one month to go before the Olympics, community infections of the Omicron coronavirus variant have been confirmed in the city of Tianjin, adjacent to Beijing, and the inland province of Henan.
