Nearly 100.000 people will be present in the "Bird's Nest" Olympic stadium to watch the opening ceremony, and billions more worldwide are expected to tune in to watch the extravaganza.
The theme song, carefully kept secret via its omission from all three of the opening-ceremony rehearsals, will be revealed at the conclusion of the ceremony, which commences at 8pm Beijing time on Friday, August 8th.

Needless to say, this is a tremendous honor, and we are thrilled that Sarah will once again be singing the theme song of the Olympic Games. Many of you already know that she also performed the theme song of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games with Jose Carreras to a global audience of two billion.
With that said, enjoy the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and Sarah's performance!
