No-one will forget the beauty of Barcelona's archer lighting the Olympic flame with a burning arrow or the sheer drama of Cathy Freeman igniting the Olympic torch in Sydney. But what about the unseen and unheard about dramas behind the openings?

The success of Ric's production at the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games led to the opportunity to work on the opening and closing ceremonies of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Ric also describes the years of creativity and ruthlessness that precedes each event with humour, amazing detail and with huge affection and respect for his teams'.
