The Salt Lake City 2002 Paralympic Opening Ceremony was built around the theme “Awaken the Mind – Free the Body – Inspire the Spirit” and was staged at Rice-Eccles Stadium with ~40,000 spectators. It included major star power—most famously Stevie Wonder, whose performance became a high-energy celebration moment at the end of the ceremony.
