Who will carry out the Olympics Opening Ceremony?

Thomas Jolly, a French theater director and actor, will be the one directing the opening ceremony, which will showcase all the cultures of his native country. During a discussion about the event with AP, the renowned star stated:

I was overwhelmed at first. I wondered how I could create a show where everyone can feel represented as part of this great union. This responsibility was ambitious, complex, but magnificent for an artist“.

The French newspaper Le Parisien reported that the rumors linking Dion might be true, as she is Québécois and often sings in French, suggesting she might perform “L’Hymne à l’amour” by Édith Piaf at the event.

The show would mark her first live performance since being diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome in 2022. If the theories prove to be true, her performance could be one of the most emotional moments of the show.
