Content

[edit]

I had been waiting for this moment for a long time, for 10 years in fact... when I was 16 I came to sing three songs as the opening act on this stage; it was my dream which finally came true.

— Celine Dion, on performing at theParis Olympia for the first time[1]

The album was recorded on 28 and 29 September 1994, during two sold-out concerts at theParis Olympia. Among songs from singer's previous French albumDion chante Plamondon, Dion performed also "Calling You", (Academy Award-nominated song fromBagdad Café), "Quand on n'a que l'amour" (originally byJacques Brel), and a medley of songs from theStarmania musical, including two songs unavailable on Dion previous releases: "Quand on arrive en ville" and "Naziland, ce soir on danse" (full English version of that song called "Tonight We Dance (Extravagance!)" was recorded by Dion and included on theTycoon compilation in 1992).

AlthoughÀ l'Olympia was unavailable in most important music markets (United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia), the B-sides of English singles released there in 1995 and 1996 included tracks from that album.

The video with this concert was never released.

"Quand on n'a que l'amour", "Elle" and "Medley Starmania" were included on Dion's 2005 French compilationOn ne change pas.

Shows at the Olympia were a part ofThe Colour of My Love Tour.
