Celine Dion sings moving rendition of 'Hymne A L'Amour' in comeback performance at Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony
The impressive voice with the intensive emotions Celine Dion, the famous singer from Canada, sang at the Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony. Her performance was executed in an astoundingly decorated stadium – one of the highlights of the ceremony that captivated the world’s viewers.
The viewers were touched by Dion’s interpretation of the French chanson ‘Hymne A L’Amour’ which was performed by Édith Piaf. Her perfect voice, along with the song’s beautiful lyrics, evoked the idea of unity and hope, which is exactly the spirit of the Olympics.
The setting was quite minimalist and very calming; this was quite appropriate as the stage belonged to Dion who was not accompanied; she wore a white dress which represents purity and the search for peace. When she started singing the audience formed a circle with rapt attention because she endowed the song with feeling and power. The orchestral backing proved to be complementary where the string and piano sections meshed well with the singer’s voice of Dion.
This performance was particularly important for Dion primarily because it would be her return to the stage after some time off as a result of medical problems. Its reception was long-awaited, and she did not fail to deliver. Her performance of “Hymne A L’Amour” remained vivid and showed the audience just how strong she is as a performer.
The choice of the song also specifically symbolized ‘’Hymne A L’Amour”, which means hymn to love, some form of dedication. Dion’s performance was a message, which showed the triumph of love and the spirit of people, which are intertwined with spirit of Olympism – friendship, cooperation and hard work.
Finally, the music came to an end, many appeared to be touched by the performance. It was staged during the Opening Ceremony and impacted the general atmosphere of the weeks to follow that are filled with sporting events and entertainment. The Summer Olympics’ opening ceremony not only watched the return of Celine Dion but also experienced an uplifting time that proclaimed the singer as one of the world’s singing icons.
