Event summary

Highlights

  • First full concert performance in six years
  • Opening night of a multi-date residency at Plenitude Arena
  • Setlist featuring hits like 'My Heart Will Go On' and 'La Wally'
  • Six high-fashion costume changes
The nearly two-and-a-half-hour performance at the Plenitude Arena—noted as one of Europe’s largest indoor concert venues—drew a crowd of approximately 33,000 fans. Opening with "On Ne Change Pas," the show was an emotional milestone for the artist, who had not performed a full-length concert since early 2020. This appearance followed her 2022 diagnosis with a rare neurological disorder, a condition that previously forced her to cancel her world tour.

The concert featured a broad selection of hits, including "My Heart Will Go On," "Because You Loved Me," and an operatic rendition of "La Wally." Dion addressed the audience in both French and English, expressing gratitude for their support during her recovery. The production included six costume changes featuring designs by Givenchy and Schiaparelli, as well as a surprise cover of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams."

This event served as the debut for a series of 26 performances scheduled at the Nanterre venue through fall 2026 and spring 2027, with an additional 10 shows planned for later in the year. Notable attendees included former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, while fans traveled globally to attend, with some wearing formal gowns and wedding dresses to celebrate the singer's return.
