Celine Dion Ready to Return to Las Vegas
It seems Celine Dion can’t get enough of Las Vegas. It’s been a mere three-year since she wrapped up her five-year run at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and she’s ready to sign on for another three-year stint. The next Vegas run kicks off on March 15 and will feature 31 musicians, complete with a backing band and full orchestra. The stage show will be totally revamped from her last tenure at The Colosseum.
Celine’s commented about her return to Las Vegas in a prepared press release saying, “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!”
Dion’s first Vegas run amounted to 700 shows during the 5 year span and racked in over $400,000,000 in ticket sales. She followed the Vegas residency with a world tour in 2008 and managed to release two albums (“Taking Chances” and “D’elles” in her native French tongue) in 2007.
Tickets for the initial set of Las Vegas performances that stretch through August 2011 go onsale Friday (2/12) at 10am via Ticketmaster with prices varying from $55 to $250.
