Céline Dion made a triumphant return to music during the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris on Friday. Singing “L’Hymne à l’amour” by Édith Piaf from the base of the Eiffel Tower, the iconic performance marked a significant moment for the 56-year-old singer who had been battling stiff-person syndrome since 2020. In a recent documentary, Dion detailed her struggle with the disease and her motivation to get back to performing. With Lady Gaga and Aya Nakamura also performing at the Ceremony, Dion’s performance marked a musical and personal triumph as it ended the Opening Ceremony and signaled the beginning of the Olympic Games. The significance of the Paris Opening Ceremony, with its French cultural elements, was explored by USC Dornsife professor Lydia Moudileno. Dion’s powerful and emotional return to music has captivated audiences and fans worldwide, proving that the heart will continue to go on for the beloved Canadian singer.
