Performers at the 2026 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony

From gravity-defying stunts on the slopes to victories on the ice, the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games will conclude with a Closing Ceremony on February 22 in Verona. For the first time the ceremony will be held at a UNESCO World Heritage Site—the revamped Arena di Verona, now the Verona Olympic Arena—and will feature Olympic highlights, performances and the traditional handover to the French Alps before the Olympic flame is extinguished.

International ballet star Roberto Bolle will headline a performance built around the evening’s theme, "Beauty in Action." Bolle, who has toured with companies such as the Royal Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet and the Bolshoi and popularized ballet through his series Roberto Bolle and Friends, previously appeared at the 2006 Torino Winter Games.
