Difficult to keep the secret. Even if everyone wanted to preserve surprises. The closer the opening ceremony approaches, the more people talk about what the director of the event, Thomas Jolly, imagined. And especially the artists he invited. After first trying to solicit stars from around the world, the scenographer refocused on the singers.
No more trying not to confirm the presence of Céline Dion, Aya Nakamura, Lady Gaga. According to our information, they will be there. Just like Juliette Armanet accompanied by pianist Sofiane Pamart as revealed by L’Équipe, which we are able to confirm. The duo will evolve around a piano seen in recent days on the banks of the Seine. The curious already imagined Lady Gaga installed there. The American star will sing elsewhere but will definitely be there. Same thing for Céline Dion, as we announced on June 18.
“The hymn to love” for Céline Dion and Aznavour for Aya Nakamura
The Quebec singer who arrived in Paris on Tuesday morning by private jet from Las Vegas is preparing her first performance since 2020 and her health concerns which forced her to cancel her tour. The whole world will finally find her as a breathtaking interpreter of a song by Edith Piaf which should be “The Hymn to Love”.
We thought that the Môme repertoire would be revisited by Aya Nakamura, the first artist whose name had been revealed. She will finally tackle the repertoire of Charles Aznavour accompanied by the Republican Guard.
Shock of cultures and musical universes. This is what Thomas Jolly and the musical director of the ceremony Victor Le Masne planned. According to our information, they imagined the shattering meeting between the opera singer Marina Viotti and the rock metal group Gojira.
The whole world will discover these French musicians who are stars in their field who have already filled the Accor Arena, toured all over the world, been nominated several times for the Grammy Awards and are dubbed by Metallica. They will therefore accompany Marina Viotti, immense Franco-Swiss voice crowned lyrical artist at the Victoires de la Musique 2023.
Many surprises
Other names of singers and musicians have circulated such as those of Philippe Katerine and Cerrone. According to our information, the first will not sing but will appear in the simplest device under a huge bell before a female voice takes over. The second, originally a drummer, will not evolve among his electronic machines. It is one of his songs that will be in the spotlight: “Supernature”, a legendary disco song released in 1977 rearranged
And this is undoubtedly only a small part of what awaits us on Friday evening where behind the scenes of the ceremony, we promise a grandiose spectacle, never seen before, so that the launch of Paris 2024 will be the most beautiful ever. the entire history of the Olympic Games.
