[edit] History

The originally scheduled DVD release date (autumn 2004) was postponed because of changes and improvements made to the show since the initial filming. A New Day... was re-shot in high-definition during the January 17–21, 2007 week.[6] According to the A New Day: the Secrets documentary on the second disc, one of the major reasons for the delay was that Dion and her producers gradually realized that Dion's change to a short blonde bob for A New Day was highly unpopular with her fan base, and the hairstyle also looked terrible on screen during the first DVD shoot. As a result, she returned to her long brunette hair with extensions and the DVD was reshot.

The Live in Las Vegas - A New Day... DVD includes the last version of the show, performed between November 2006 and December 2007. But during A New Day... previous years, Dion performed also seven other songs: "Nature Boy," "At Last," "Fever," "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," "Have You Ever Been in Love," "Et je t'aime encore," and "What a Wonderful World." Some of them are included on the A New Day... Live in Las Vegas CD, released in June 2004.[7]

[edit] Promotion

"The Power of Love," "I Drove All Night," "I Surrender," and "I Wish" from the DVD were first released on the deluxe edition of Dion's album Taking Chances from November 2007. An exclusive sneak preview from the show was also included.

A New Day... was shown on television in selected countries, including the Netherlands (first part on November 18 and second one on November 25, 2007 on SBS 6), Spain (November 29, 2007 on TVE2), South Africa (first part on December 2 and second one on December 8, 2007 on SABC 3), Italy (December 25, 2007 on Italia 1), and Quebec (bonus features on January 20, 2008 and the show on January 27, 2008 on TVA).

A New Day... was also broadcast to movie theatres in some countries, including Poland (Multikino on December 5, 2007)[8] and the United States (various theatres on December 17, 2007).[9]

The Quebec TV station TVA broadcasted a TV special dedicated to the last show of Céline Dion at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, on December 16, 2007. The show was entitled Les Adieux de Céline Dion à Las Vegas (Céline Dion's Vegas Farewells). The cameras entered the intimacy of Dion and René Angélil during latest show's night (December 15). Viewers could see Céline Dion leaving her home with her husband and their son who attended his mother's show, Dion in her dressing room or in the elevator that took her to the stage.
