  "summary": "Celine Dion has made a triumphant return to the stage in Paris after a six-year hiatus. The 58-year-old French Canadian singer performed at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre, outside Paris, in front of nearly 33,000 people, according to CityNews and Global News. Her show featured 25 songs over two hours and 15 minutes, including hits like \"My Heart Will Go On\" and \"Pour que tu m'aimes encore\", CityNews reported.\n\nDion has been open about her health challenges, revealing in 2022 that she was suffering from stiff-person syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that affects the muscles, including those of the throat, as reported by CityNews. Despite this, she delivered a powerful vocal performance, hitting high notes and moving the crowd to tears, Gulf News and CityNews described.\n\nThe concert marked the beginning of a series of 26 performances at the Plenitude Arena this fall and next spring, CityNews stated. Dion expressed her emotions, telling the crowd she had promised herself she wouldn’t cry but couldn’t help it, and saying \"I missed this!\", CityNews reported.",
