The official opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris was scheduled for Friday, 26th July. This is the year's most significant event, occurring every four years. It is no surprise that athletes have been focusing their preparations on it this season.
The French organisers did everything to ensure that the aforementioned opening of the Olympics went off without a hitch. As such, there were, of course, artistic performances. Lady Gaga performed first, and the four-hour show was concluded by Celine Dion, who made a return to the stage.
Let us recall that one of the world's greatest singers has been battling an illness for a long time, significantly affecting her artistic activities. In December 2022, Dion revealed that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a progressive autoimmune disorder.
The Canadian singer performed a song by the iconic artist Edith Piaf. She impressed the fans with her performance, and she received virtually all positive reviews.
Celine Dion did it for the second time
Thus, Dion marked her second appearance at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. It is worth recalling that in 1996 she appeared at the start of the games in Atlanta and sang a song titled The Power of The Dream.
For this reason, the official profile of the Olympic Games on social media shared a recording of Dion's performance in the United States. Now, history has come full circle, and her voice can be heard again.
