[quote=APAULT,316314]We had plenty of foreign media criticism of the substitution of one girl for another, and for some of the ceremony being computer generated and prerecorded, but I have just read this (I have abbreviated the passage) in the Australian press (Sydney Morning Herald). So it seems it's nothing new. The Sydney Symphony's confirmation that it mimed its entire performance at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics comes as something of a shock. Even worse, it admits the backing tape was recorded, in part, by its southern rival, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. "It [the performance] was all pre-recorded and we were basically miming to a pre-recording. The reason the orchestra did not play live was that Olympics organisers "wanted to leave nothing to chance". [/quote]
