algun griego que me ayude:

- que dicen los coros que suenan al final , estan hermosos y me gustaria saber el nombre de esa cancion completa o minimo conocer que dicen , cual es la letra pues .

ayudenme porfa :)

[molinillo45]

esta fue sin duda la mejor parte de la mejor inauguracion, es algo conmovedor el ver al final de a todos los participantes salir juntos caminando mientras los tambores suenan con esa melodia tan estremecedora, despues esos coros que comienzan a cantar son algo maravillosos.

ahora mis dudas:

- alguien sabe el nombre de la cancion que suena en un `principio despues de que la mujer baja ayudada por cupido, la cancion donde canta una mujer es magnifica, Alguien sabe su nombre?¿

@molinillo45 Maria Callas - O Patria Mia! - Aida - Act 3-Giussepe Verdi. Espero que lo que estas buscando! Saludos desde Atenas!!!

This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!! The beggining from Callas (i have a vylil of her), then pregnant woman and water (which from life begins as we all know) and then DNA - this just GENIUS. Absolutely braincrush of wonder idea!!! From Russia with love!

I don't know if that opening ceremony was the best and I really don't feel the need to compare it with other ceremonies but we must all agree that it has many senses. We didn't just represented our culture but we made a symbolic journey over the human struggle to understand ourselves. That was a celebration of culture but mostly a celebration of humanity. The messages of this ceremony took her to triumph, a triumph for the Greeks.

@apostolakos1986 I totaly agree with you. It was a tribiute to the humanity. From love to sience, from culture to technology. Life and death. The whole world should be proud for this ceremony. This was ones in a lifetime experience! Great Games with the real meaning of the word great!

I love this DNA scene, but the beuatiful music is not enough clear at the beginning of this clip. :S

@Platschu It’s an old recording of Maria Callas. She’s been dead since 1977, a famous American-born Greek opera singer. There was no modern digital recording equipment when she lived. Beautiful woman, amazing singer.
