Posted March 16, 200817 yr Celine Dion show a hit PDF Print E-mail Sunday, 16 March 2008 by Anni Lam Celine Dion didn't disappoint fans last night at the Venetian Macao's arena. The 15,000 seat venue was crammed with locals as well as many that travelled from Hong Kong and the mainland to see the “Taking Chances” tour. Starting at just past 9pm, Dion gave fans a taste of her new album as well as wooing the audience with many of the old favourites. During the one and a half hour show, Dion changed wardrobe over five times. She performed more than 20 songs, saving the fans' favourite until the end. The title track to the movie “Titanic”, “My Heart Will Go On” brought the crowd to their feet during the one song encore. During the show Dion chatted with the audience. She had spent the last three days in Macau, during which time she checked out some of the local tourist attractions, she told the audience. Dion even learned some Mandarin for the occasion, thanking the crowd with the phrase “Xiexie”. The tour, promoting the singers latest album, kicked off in Johannesburg, South Africa last month where she played to over 300,000 fans. The gruelling schedule will see the Canadian perform more than 100 shows over the next year. In a sign of the new status of Macau in the region, Dion skipped Hong Kong, travelling to Macau from Osaka, Japan. Dion is also a favourite in the US gaming capital, Las Vegas. Beginning in 2003, the star sang five nights a week at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in a 4,000-seat arena designed specifically for her show. “A 90-minute event, "A New Day" introduced a new form of theatrical entertainment, a fusion of song, performance art, innovative stage craft and state-of-the-art technology,” a press release states. “Over the course of the show's record-breaking sold-out run, more than 3,000,000 people have seen Celine Dion's "A New Day." The show took in approximately USD400 million according to promoters, making it “one of the highest concert grosses in music history”. “A New Day” was created by Dragone Productions, who will also create a performance for the Cotai City of Dreams' development beginning next year. From Macau, Dion will fly to Seoul, South Korea for two shows. Source: Macau Daily Times Pics: http://www.celinedionforum.com/index.php?s...st&p=903058 Vids: MHWGO iuBrHgnWG_Q
