Despite the rain, Celine Dion delivered a spectacular performance at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. After being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome in 2022, the singer did not perform again until her stunning rendition of “Hymne à l’amour” from an illuminated Eiffel Tower.
At the nearly four-hour concert, Lady Gaga and her pink pompom-adorned dancers performed a mesmerizing rendition of “Mon Truc en Plumes” down the Seine. Thanks for starting the Paris Olympics and celebrating French culture, Gaga tweeted. A pre-recorded section also featured Zinedine Zidane carrying the Olympic torch through Paris. As a fitting musical finale to this historic opening ceremony, Celine sang a stunning solo. Her enchanting voice resounded along the Seine River in Paris, and her adoring fans were overjoyed to witness her live performance again.
