Legendary pop superstar Phil Collins, musical chart-toppers Christina Aguilera and Enrique Iglesias, and award-winning songstress and Broadway star Toni Braxton will join more than 125 drummers and percussionists, a full symphony orchestra, larger-than-life puppets, aerial dancers, a multi-generational choir and last but not least: one stadium-full of Disney magic for the "E*TRADE Super Bowl XXXIV Halftime Show."

An estimated 130 million viewers in the United States and millions more worldwide will be a part of an unprecedented millennium celebration on Jan. 30, 2000, at the Georgia Dome as Walt Disney Attractions produces the Super Bowl spectacle celebrating the dawn of the new millennium. Director, producer and Academy Award nominee Edward James Olmos will be the featured narrator for the halftime performance that will be televised by ABC-TV.

This will be the sixth time Disney has created the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

"Marking the milestone of the year 2000 in a special way is the mission for this Super Bowl halftime show," says NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. "We're pleased to have Disney with us again to continue the tradition of magical halftime entertainment for our fans."

The show, entitled "Tapestry of Nations," is inspired by the year-long Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration. Elements of the festivities are intertwined throughout the 10-minute spectacle, including larger-than-life puppets, an original, orchestral score and advanced pyrotechnics. Created by award-winning designer Michael Curry, the puppets are modeled after those that are featured as part of the year-long Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration in Florida.

"At the Walt Disney World Resort we are marking the milestone of the millennium in a big way with a year-long celebration," says Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney World Co. "With this special performance during Super Bowl XXXIV, we hope to give people around the world a taste of our celebration and welcome the year 2000 in grand fashion."

The show, sponsored by E*TRADE, will feature a full symphony orchestra led by accomplished Atlanta-area conductor Steven Byess. The 80-member orchestra on the field will be a Super Bowl Halftime Show first. Reflecting the multi-generational celebration, members of the orchestra and accompanying choir range in age from 10 to 60.

Theatrical lighting -- the most expansive in Super Bowl history -- illuminates the darkened Georgia Dome as fully synchronized pyrotechnics provide an eye-and-ear-filling backdrop to the superstar musical performances. The lighting will create a magical atmosphere for the spiritual celebration.

Super Bowl XXXIV, the NFL championship game, will be held Sunday, Jan. 30, 2000, and will air live on ABC beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
