Pop divas Celine Dion and Lady Gaga are being expected to perform a duet at the opening ceremony of the 33rd Olympics Friday in Paris, France.
The duo who are already in France for several days now will sing “La Vie en Rose” by Edith Piaf an iconic French song.
Céline Dion recently posted photos of herself at the Louvre, expressing her love for Paris. She wrote, “Every time I return to Paris, I remember there’s so much beauty and joy still to experience in the world.” Meanwhile, Lady Gaga was seen performing on a floating piano on the Seine River, adding to the growing anticipation.
France’s president Emmanuel Macron, has remained mostly silent about the event but couldn’t hide his excitement when questioned about Dion’s Instagram posts. Speaking to France 2, he said, “Apparently she has arrived in Paris, it’s great! I would be immensely happy if she could be at this opening ceremony, like all our compatriots.”
Macron hinted at a surprise prepared by the opening ceremony director, Thomas Jolly, and his team. “I will not reveal anything,” he said with a playful smile. “There is also a surprise.”
Dion’s appearance would be her first performance since she had to pause her career due to Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder. She last performed live in New York in the spring of 2020.
