Danny Boyle who as we should all know by now is the artistic director for the opening ceremony, has contradicted himself once again, last month he unveiled his plans for the opening ceremony which turned out to be turning the Olympic stadium into the countryside.
Then he came out and apologised to all those involved in the opening ceremony for revealing his plans and urged them to remain focused on the job, but last night he contradicted himself by inviting over 60,000 spectators for a dress rehearsal and robbed the ceremony of any spontaneity.
Before hand he pleaded with the audience not to spoil the surprise, but in this modern world asking 60,000 people, not to tweet, text, e-mail, blog or update their Facebook status about witnessing the ceremony early was doomed to fail from the start.
So it has proved as several newspapers have already printed quite a few of the details, and while it does sound rather good and has been praised by those who did attend, why didn’t Danny Boyle stick to his word and keep the opening ceremony a surprise.
That’s what made Beijing’s opening ceremony so amazing, nobody knew what was coming and we were treated to an absolute bonanza, why couldn’t we have done the same.
