The Summer Olympics got scratched in Japan. They had a slew of fireworks to use for the opening and closing ceremonies, but the fireworks couldn’t be stored until 2021 –– so they had to (1) get rid of them or (2) fire them up . .

The Japanese did the latter . . . to Rossini’s William Tell Overture . . . at the base of Mt. Fuji.

Turn your sound up…and enjoy.

how are fireworks synchronized to work like that?
am usually amazed.
plenty of engineering

Shows like the Olympics and large New Year’s Eve celebrations have a spectacular display of fireworks that are complemented by music. However, before the show can become a reality, there are three major steps that must be taken.
