With her powerful stage presence and distinctive voice, the young artist will captivate both national and international audiences, bringing intensity and authenticity to a moment of global significance.


A rising voice for a global stage: Mimi Caruso

Born in 2007 to Italian-Malian heritage and raised in Lombardy, Mimi Caruso represents one of the most promising new talents on the Italian music scene. Her style blends soul, R&B, and contemporary influences, making her a point of reference for many young people who identify with her story of plural identity and determination.

With her intense and distinctive voice, she will take part in an event of strong symbolic value. Her performance will embody the theme "Life in Motion," transforming the Paralympic Opening Ceremony into a powerful sound experience celebrating change, resilience, and evolution. 


An event not to be missed 

The Paralympic Opening Ceremony is conceived as a cultural expression of the highest level, reflecting  the ability of art to translate profound values of sport into a shared collective vision. Produced in collaboration with Filmmaster, which also successfully contributed to the Olympic Closing Ceremony in Verona, the show promises an immersive experience where contemporary languages, performance, and  innovation showcase a dynamic and inclusive Italy to the world. 

The Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games will be more than just a major sporting event. They will offer the world a cultural and human vision capable of uniting diverse communities and territories. Caruso, with her artistic sensitivity and vibrant energy, will be one of the standout voices of the Opening Ceremony. Her presence adds a unique touch to an international celebration that promises not only spectacle, but also reflection and inspiration.
