Celine Dion was one of the main attractions at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics, delivering a performance that left a lasting impression on the French audience present in Paris.
After two years away due to her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome, she returned to the stage. Her performance took place atop the Eiffel Tower, a majestic setting that added a touch of magic to her performance.
The singer surprised everyone by performing the classic “L’Hymne à l’amour” by Edith Piaf, instead of the previous rumors suggesting a duet with Lady Gaga to the tune of “La Vie en Rose”.

It is not the first time Celine Dion has sung at the Olympics; the 2024 opening ceremony was her third time being part of the popular sporting event, which brings together the world’s best athletes.
