 Working
with Opryland Productions, Chicago Scenic acted as the local
producer and services provider for the 1994 World Cup Opening
Ceremonies.
Chicago
Scenic secured and managed the many organizations and contractors
that made this world-class event flawless. Responsible for
recruiting and coordinating over 2,000 volunteers and performers,
hiring all personnel from special effects and pyrotechnic
experts to logistic and transportation providers, Chicago
Scenic's production and event management staff worked tirelessly
for three months to pull off this world-class event that was
hosted by Oprah Winfrey, and featured Jon Secada, Diana Ross,
and President Bill Clinton.
 Chicago
Scenic built and installed all of the scenery and large-scale
props designed by Rene Lagler for this internationally televised
event. From concept to permitting through final installation,
Chicago Scenic's project management team followed through
on all aspects of the project's budgeting, planning, construction,
and installation.
 Technical
direction and stage management also fell under Chicago Scenic's
scope, which involved managing all of the logistics for the
35-minute show. Every aspect of the show from sound and pyrotechnics
to the 100,000-piece balloon release and F-16 flyby were planned,
coordinated, and executed seamlessly by the staff assembled
by Chicago Scenic.
