I'm truly shocked and burst out into tears...

13 years later, I still remember how shocked I was as child when I saw this. Choirs around the world singing "in time". Remains my most favorite Opening Ceremonies act to this day. Nothing has really come close to topping it I don't think yet. (And it cemented my adoration for Seiji Ozawa--look at the hair! The mad conducting!)
