European Games Opening Ceremony Highlights - Baku 2015
Relive the magic of the beautiful European Games 2015 Opening Ceremony, featuring 2,000 dancers and artists - including Lady Gaga.
The 2015 European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan were the inaugural edition of the European Games, an international multi-sport event for athletes representing the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of Europe.
It took place from 12 to 28 June 2015 and featured almost 6,000 athletes from 50 countries competing in 20 sports.
The European Games will take place every four years thereafter, with the next competition due to be held in 2019.
The opening ceremony started on 12 June 2015 in the Olympic Stadium and was directed by artistic choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou who was praised for his work during 2004 Summer Olympics.
Singer Lady Gaga performed "Imagine", a cover from John Lennon at the event. The shapeshifting scene featured the representations of Yanar Dag and the Gobustan rock carvings, in particular.
The woman on the stage (Nargiz Nasirzade) and the man (Aydemir Aydemir) embodied the arrival of spring.
