Barcelona, a pioneer in organising an event of such magnitude, kicked off the 37th edition of the competition: the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup.
Barcelona has once again dazzled the world, offering an unforgettable spectacle. For 40 minutes, the sea, the wind and the sail – symbols of human ingenuity and collective effort – starred in a night full of music, light and colour.

The ceremony was directed and produced by the joint venture 'BARCELONA, FAR EN EL MUNDO', made up of Focus SA, Lavinia, Igor Studio and Flock Drone Art. Each of these companies contributed their experience in cultural creation, television services and technological shows.

The soprano stood out among the performances Sara Blanch, the tenor Arnau Tordera and the Human towers of Vilafranca, symbolizing collaboration and teamwork.
Barcelona, a beacon in the world
