During opening arguments the prosecution presents theirs first, they will explain to a jury all of the circumstances of the case and explain what they will present to prove all of the evidence along with the type of testimony for the jury/judge to expect from any scheduled witnesses. The defense can present an opening argument at that time or they can reserve the option until after the prosecution presents their case.
