The opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics kicked off in Sochi on Friday and the lavish event infused Russian classics.

"Unfortunately, unlike London, we cannot boast a plethora of famous world-known pop performers. This is why we are now focusing on what Russia is best known for musically around the world; namely, classical music," Konstantin Ernst, the main creative producer of the ceremony, told CNN before the event.

Russian classical music star Anna Netrebko, 42, performed the Olympic anthem with approximately 40,000 people watching from the stands. Russian President Vladimir Putin was also one of them.
