Mariah Carey welcomed the world to Milano Cortina 2026 at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony Friday.
The music icon opened her performance by singing Domenico Modugno’s “Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu)” in Italian, a symbolic gesture that underscored the event’s theme of “harmony” and its global appeal.
The five-time Grammy award winner was one of the leading performers for the event at Milan’s San Siro stadium. She soared on several whistle tones in “Volare” before transitioning into her own hit “Nothing Is Impossible” from her 2025 album “Here For It All.”
“Volare” has an impactful global legacy. It first emerged as Italy’s entrant at the 1958 Eurovision contest.
