One of the main _1_(attract) of the 2024 Paris Olympics is, of course, Paris. The City of Lights and _2_(it) many world-famous landmarks will take center stage at this year’s Games. Swimmers will, weather _3_(permit), race in the Seine. But it’s hard _4_(imagine) that any one event will offer as magnificent a tribute to Paris as Friday’s Opening Ceremony, which eschewed the confines of a stadium and made the entire city its stage. The ceremony, _5_ took place in the hours surrounding sunset in France and will re-air in "enhanced" form at 7:30 pm ET on NBC, was occasionally weird, wildly ambitious, ultimately wonderful, and _6_(extreme) French. On the roof of the Grand-Palais, mezzo-soprano Axelle Saint-Cirel sang "La Marseillaise." A footbridge _7_(convert) into a catwalk, near the Eiffel Tower, for a celebration of French fashion. And in the ceremony’s final minutes, there was Celine Dion, long rumored to be performing in Paris, singing dith Piaf’s “Hymne l’amour” _8_ a stage midway up the same tower, belting triumphantly for all the city and the world to hear. Vive la r volution. An ode to love and literature that began in the library _9_ ended with what was, by all appearances, a m nage trois entering _10_ apartment and saucily closing the door on the camera operator? Ooh la la. It wouldn’t be Paris without that frisson.
