Sibling competition is a universal feeling. Perhaps she is even more acerbic among celebrities. In the 1960s, when Dalida and Bruno Gigliotti were making their mark on French territory, both dreamed of light. The one who will then become known as Orlando also aspired to a career as a singer, like the interpreter of Let me dance. “I had a knack for finding good songs and I was a pretty boywith some success”confided the brother of Dalida to our colleagues from Point during a recent interview.
Not without humour, Orlando raised the problem that put an end to his ambitions: “But I was singing and moving like Dalida. And France didn’t need a second Dalida.” Because, when he tried to break through as a singer, he found himself constantly compared to his sister. “It wasn’t obvious to me. I wanted to exist by myself. I knew that with this label I might never go very far.” Fortunately for him, Orlando found a parade.

I was proud and I claimed to be “the brother of…”
When Orlando announced to Dalida that he wanted to put an end to his singing career, the interpreter of die on stage wanted to make sure his brother was certain of his choice. And he didn’t think he was doing so well. From an aspiring performer, he turned into an impresario. A reinvention that completely changed the brother-sister dynamic. “But when I decided to become Dalida’s producer, then that was another story. I was proud and claimed to be ‘the brother of…'” he confided to Point.
