Céline Dion — A New Day…, live in Las Vegas, 2007

Why this recording

Assembled from several performances given between 17 and 21 January 2007, this version of the show was shot specifically in high definition for the Live in Las Vegas: A New Day… DVD, released in December 2007 on Columbia and Epic and directed for the screen by Jean Lamoureux. On stage, Claude "Mego" Lemay leads the band from the piano, with violin, cello and three backing singers around the rhythm section. Midway through, the run from Pour que tu m'aimes encore into Ammore annascunnuto takes the set from English to French and then Neapolitan. The video reproduces that official DVD, re-uploaded by a fan channel.

Full-length capture of Céline Dion’s A New Day… show, filmed at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in January 2007, as the near five-year residency drew to a close. Directed by Franco Dragone, the production frames the Québécoise singer’s voice within a visual-theatre staging built around a giant LED screen and a full dance company. This live concert runs through the artist’s biggest pop hits — A New Day Has Come, The Power of Love, Because You Loved Me and My Heart Will Go On — interspersed with covers and a French-language moment on Pour que tu m’aimes encore. A reference document of the Las Vegas era, the filmed version conveys the orchestral scale and vocal precision that made the residency a landmark. A full concert to rediscover Céline Dion at the peak of her stagecraft, in a format conceived for the stage rather than the studio. Keywords: Céline Dion live, filmed concert, Las Vegas 2007, pop.
