Artists to perform at the Olympics Opening Ceremony

The stars who will perform remain a great unknown. However, NBC reported that Céline Dion and Lady Gaga have recently arrived in Paris, fueling speculation about their possible performance at the ceremony.

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.
