As proof, they want, among other things, a performance that is too perfect on a technical level.
Celine Dion would have sung in playback during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, according to sound experts: “You can hear it” (VIDEO)
“I think it’s not very important when we see the emotional power of Céline Dion at the top of the Eiffel Tower. We see her singing and giving everything, confides Victor Le Masne. It’s annoying that we’re coming back to this a month later. It’s a shame we talk about it all the time. I have the impression that it deconstructs something beautiful a little. Yes, she sang for real.”
Is this playback thing hurting for the sake of hurting?
“I don’t know. It’s a bit of a shame. I can understand the ‘we like being behind the scenes’ part, but you have to let yourself be carried away by the moment.”

“The evening before, July 25, we rehearsed on the Trocadéro square, then on the Eiffel Tower, at 3 a.m. I was present at all the rehearsals, I will remember them all my life. C It was intense. She gives, Céline Dion is a soldier, a warrior. She’s done that all her life. That’s what I want to remember. I don’t know if they pressed the button. I find it a bit heavy to come back and insist on that.”

Has Celine Dion talked to you about how she sees things in the future for her? Singing and getting back on stage, does she still believe in it?
“Of course. There are projects coming up for Céline Dion. We had great discussions but we didn’t particularly talk about what we were going to do next, neither she nor I. We were living in the present moment, this what we were doing at that moment.”
