Overview
- Opening on Saturday evening, Dion begins a 26-show residency at the Plenitude Arena in Paris that expands an initial limited run and runs through May 2027.
- Dion disclosed a 2022 diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome and has spent years on a program of medication, immunotherapy, vocal therapy, physical therapy, Pilates and ballet to rebuild mobility and voice.
- Ticket demand has been intense, with the September and October dates sold out, steep resale prices reported, and local businesses and transport hubs showing visible signs of the event surge.
- Thousands of fans have staged large public gatherings in Paris, including mass karaoke nights, hotel singalongs and themed events that have become part of the residency’s cultural footprint.
- Stiff Person Syndrome is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that causes severe stiffness and spasms, has no cure, and in Dion’s case has driven both her rehabilitation strategy and fundraising for related research.
