“WE ARE ONE”
Hours before the ceremony, long lines formed at concession stands and crowds, mostly clad in black, streamed to their seats.
Singapore is sending its largest contingent to the Games with 930 athletes set to compete in 48 sports.
The ceremony, with its central theme “We are One”, began with hundreds of drones soaring above the stadium, first forming the 33rd SEA Games emblem, and then a series of numbers representing key figures of the Games.
The segment also paid tribute to the first Games hosted in Thailand, with a video showing footage from the first Games opening ceremony and key sporting moments over the years.
In the ceremony’s second segment, titled “Ignite The Game”, an eye-catching formation of performers raced across the field, carving dynamic trails of light that converged into the Games logo. A drum solo pulsated, culminating in a display of pyrotechnics.
