Another highlight of the ceremony could be the participation of Aya Nakamura. The French singer is also expected to perform alongside Céline Dion. According to rumors, Céline Dion could perform Édith Piaf’s L’Hymne à l’Amour, while Aya Nakamura could cover La Vie en Rose, another iconic Piaf song. This unprecedented combination promises a memorable opening ceremony for spectators the world over.

Céline Dion’s presence in Paris and possible appearance at the Olympics are all the more significant given her recent health problems. The singer has been battling stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, but has repeatedly expressed her desire to return to the stage. Her participation in the Olympics would mark a triumphant return for the singer who has already captured the hearts of the world with her unforgettable performances.
