Celine Dion concert chronology

Celine is the second residency show by Canadian recording artist Celine Dion.[1] The show is performed at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada beginning 15 March 2011, with an estimated 70 performances per year (which makes Celine the top money earner in Vegas, earning $476K a show).[2] The show ranked 26th in Pollstar's "Top 50 Worldwide Tour (Mid-Year)", earning over 20 million dollars.[3] Being seen by over 200,000 people, the show became the number one show in 2011 (for North America). The show has also made Dion the "most profitable music act in Las Vegas" since Elvis Presley.[4]

According to Pollstar end of year data (2011–13), the show has grossed $116.5 million, playing to 726,346.[5][6][7] In March 2013, René Angélil announced that Celine had extended her residency contract to 2019.[8] Due to a statement made by Celine and Caesars on 13 August 2014, all planned shows through 22 March 2015 had been cancelled due to husband, Rene Angelil's battle with throat cancer.[9][10]

On 24 March 2015, it was announced that Celine would resume the residency on 27 August 2015 with new theatrical and musical elements. With her return to the Colosseum, it would also be the first time that Dion would have a majority of new band members. Around the same time as the announcement of Dion's return, her management released a statement that due to giving Dion a new look and feel, some of the singer's longtime touring musicians would no longer be part of her team including Claude "Mego" Lemay (Piano and Musical Director), André Coutu (Guitar), Yves Frulla (Keyboards) and Violinist Jean-Seb Carré (Violin, Guitar, and Background Vocals). On 14 January 2016, Dion cancelled the rest of the January performances due to her husband's recent death from cancer.[11] Dion later resumed the residency on 23 February to a sold-out crowd garnering rave reviews. The 18th Leg ends with the sold-out shows on 7 and 8 October and Céline will resume the 19th Leg of her residency on 1 November. Due to ongoing ticket demand for Céline at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, 24 new shows from 4 April through 3 June 2017 (Public sale of tickets starting Friday, 14 October 12 P.M. PT) have been added.Céline celebrated her 1000th Las Vegas show(Overall) on 8 October 2016.

The new 2017 shows going on sale:

April: 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 22
May: 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27, 28, 30, 31

Background

"I'm coming back home to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace and I'm very excited about it. With the orchestra and the band we're going to be able to perform our songs like never before. The repertoire is going to be extraordinary...a mix of timeless Hollywood classics, along with all the favorites that my fans like to hear me sing. It's going to be a very beautiful show, and I think we'll be raising the bar higher than we've ever done before. There'll be some truly wonderful moments......I can't wait!"[12]

On 15 March 2011, Dion began a three-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The new show features 31 musicians, consisting of a full orchestra and band. The show was Directed and Produced by Ken Ehrlich with the creative production from Celine's long time Lighting Designer Yves Aucoin and Sound Mixer/Designer, Denis Savage.[1] Moment Factory will be producing the visual elements for the show (the company previously worked with Nine Inch Nails and DJ Tiesto). The show does not contain the dancers and Cirque du Soleil style choreography seen in Dion's previous show at the Colosseum, A New Day.

Dion announced her Vegas comeback during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Tickets went on sale that same week with extremely strong sales. The opening night show on 15 March was sold out within minutes.[13] Rehearsals began on 17 January 2011, in Florida, and at the Colosseum starting on 17 February 2011 when Dion moved back to Vegas to begin preparations for the new show.[12]

Additionally, it was reported in January 2011 that ticket sales for the show had already passed the $10 million mark, marking the fastest sale in the history of the venue. Caesars Palace President, Gary Selesner stated that the first lot of shows through 17 April will be completely sold out.[14]

Critical reception

The show received many positive reviews from music critics. USA Today wrote, "Dion isn't here to perform. She's here to kill it. Again… she isn't aiming for applause. She's looking for rapture."[21] Las Vegas Sun wrote, "A magnificent masterpiece! Celine has single-handedly redefined class and elegance in onstage performances. Her voice is sent from the angels."[22] The Montreal Gazette wrote, "Dion magnificent in new Las Vegas show. One hell of a show!...Jaw-dropping... Grandiose, yet intimate…Pure entertainment of the highest order. Worth every penny!" [23] Richard Ouzounian of the Toronto Star headlined his article as, "Celine Dion's Vegas show more spectacular than ever," and claimed, "If her last show sold out for five years, this one should make it for ten." [24]
