- Performed at the Milano Cortina 2026 opening ceremony Yahoo Sports/AP

Not confirmed

What the record says
“Sabrina Impacciatore became widely known to English-speaking audiences through her role as Valentina in season two of The White Lotus.” Britannica
“Sabrina Impacciatore takes part in the opening ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.” Olympics.com
The trade-off: Official profiles can confirm what happened on stage and on screen, but they leave the private biography to tabloids and guesswork.
The takeaway
Impacciatore’s story is a reminder that international fame is rarely the first chapter. The same performer who made audiences laugh and cringe with recognition in The White Lotus later carried that Italian warmth onto an Olympic stage, and the next chapter will probably depend on which role lets her mix comedy and vulnerability next.
