00:01It's the most eagerly awaited musical comeback in recent memory.
00:06Six years after her last concerts and two years after her performance at the Olympic Games opening ceremony,
00:13Céline Dion captivated her Paris audience with the first of a marathon of 16 sold-out concerts at the Plenitude
00:21Arena.
00:24It was a great joy. I thought there was a lot of joy that emanated from this show.
00:29Very generous. Céline, ultra generous.
00:32Ultra in shape.
00:34Joyeuse.
00:35Joyeuse.
00:36Yeah, I think that joy is the word I would say for tonight.
00:39We were so excited. She cried. She was happy to be here.
00:43She told us that despite the disease and the strength, she was happy to be here tonight.
00:48Just as well.
00:49Dion hadn't performed in concert since her last tour was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
00:57The concerts, which had been postponed, were eventually cancelled when the singer announced that she was suffering from Stiff Person

01:05a rare neurological disorder.
01:07At 58, Céline Dion is the best-selling Canadian artist in the history of music.
