Verona Prepares Its Ancient Arena for the Olympics Closing Ceremony on Sunday
About 1,500 athletes will parade into Verona's ancient Arena for a ceremony highlighting Italian culture and climate change, attended by 12,000 spectators, organizers said.
- The Closing Ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m. on March 6, live on NBC and Peacock, marking the end of the 2026 Winter Olympics at Verona Arena.
- The stage design, inspired by a drop of water, links mountain venues with the Po River and was chosen because Verona was selected for its Arena and central location.
- Backstage, seamstresses finish opera-inspired outfits while acclaimed ballet dancer Roberto Bolle rehearses with 350 volunteers for `Beauty in Motion`, organizers say.
- After the final medals are awarded, the Closing Ceremony lasts two and a half hours, featuring speeches from Olympic figureheads and ending with the Olympic flame extinguished.
- Organizers added wheelchair ramps and accessible restrooms for the Paralympic opening ceremony on March 6, at the Arena built in 1 A.D., which will also host events until March 15.
