Celine Dion has released her breathtaking live performance of Edith Piaf's classic "Hymne a l'amour" at the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games.
"Hymne à l'amour (Live aux Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 / Live from the Olympic Games Paris 2024)" was released on the 61st death anniversary of Piaf, one of France's most beloved cultural figures.
On July 26, Dion stepped out onto the balcony of the Eiffel Tower as the surprise final performer of the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, with her emotional tribute to Edith Piaf's masterpiece. This marked her triumphant return to the stage, and her first public appearance since 2020.
With the recent release of her documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, viewers understood how challenging this was from the devastating effects of Stiff Person Syndrome.
The tribute to Edith Piaf showcased Dion's unmatched vocal talent and emotional depth.
"Hymne a l'amour (Live aux Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 / Live from the Olympic Games Paris 2024) is now available for streaming and download on all major platforms."
