Lady Gaga is gearing up for her performance at the Olympics opening ceremony … cramming in one last rehearsal before the big show.
The singer was seen practicing her number for the highly-anticipated performance … as she was photographed singing on golden steps alongside the Seine in Paris. Gaga pulled out all the stops for her gig, too … as she performed in a chic all-black ensemble next to dancers and a full jazz band decked out in similar monochromatic looks.
Gaga and her dancers rounded out the choreography by integrating over-the-top pink feathered fans … reminiscent of the famed Moulin Rouge cabaret.
However, there was one thing noticeably missing from Gaga’s rehearsal … Celine Dion.
As TMZ previously reported … Gaga and Celine are set to perform “La Vie en Rose,” a French classic made famous by Édith Piaf.
Celine will reportedly be wearing all Dior for the performance, where she’ll be decked out in a pink and black feather cape … which goes along with the theme at Gaga’s rehearsal.
Celine’s absence from the rehearsal may mean nothing … because we don’t know exactly how Opening Ceremony producers plan to integrate their performances.

As NBC’s Olympics host Mike Tirico told Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie Friday on “Today” … the opening ceremony is taking place across different spots in the city. So, it’s possible Celine will sing from a different locale than Gaga during their duet.
Celine has also been seen out and about in Paris ahead of the Olympics’ opening ceremony … where she was filmed waving to crowds from the roof of her town car — so, y’know she’s about to bring it for her fans.
Stay tuned!!!
