Is Lady Gaga going to perform at the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in Paris on July 26? Just days before the biggest sporting event in the world kicks off, Gaga was seen arriving in the French capital. The award-winning singer, who famously sang Edith Piaf’s La Vie en Rose in “A Star in Born,” and performed the song during her Las Vegas residency Jazz and Piano, is rumored to be rehearsing her performance for the Opening Ceremony. R&B star Aya Nakamura and Celine Dion are also rumored to be performing.
For the first time in history, the Opening Ceremony is set to take place outside of a stadium and will be held along the Seine River that runs through the city. The nautical show will be following 85 boats carrying athletes from each Olympic delegation on a four-mile parade. Kicking off from the Pont d’Austerlitz and culminating at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the ceremony will showcase the city’s historical landmarks and will bring together 3,500 actors, dancers and musical performers.
The show has been designed by theatre director Thomas Jolly, best known for hit rock-opera musical “Starmania”. In an interview with the Associated Press , Jolly remained tight-lipped about the performers saying, “All I can tell you is that it will be very meaningful for the artists that will perform.” Gaga is headed into a busy few months.
Her latest film “Joker: Folie à Deux” sees her playing Harley Quinn in the sequel to 2019’s “Joker” and will be released on O.
