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”.
How many times did Celine Dion sing at the Olympics?
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.
Her first performance was at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. There she sang “Can’t Live With You, Can’t Live Without You” with David Foster, the well-known musician and music producer.
The second time she participated was at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where she sang “The Power of the Dream” at the opening ceremony, delivering a performance remembered as one of the event’s highlights.
