The 2016 Rio Olympics got off to a spectacular start at the 80,000-seater Maracana stadium with an earthy, musical celebration of Brazilian culture, a rainbow-colored dance party that highlighted the glories of South America’s largest nation; Brazil. The four-hour Opening Ceremonies had a gutted budget but a soaring feel as the stadium in this seaside city pulsed with lights, fireworks, circus-like acrobatics and a samba singalong that embraced the nation’s partying style.
