The scenes are from the DVD "A new day... Live in Las Vegas" directed by Franco Dragone Copyrights © 2007 SONY BMG MUSIC (CANADA) INC
* A New Day... was the 1st concert residency performed by Celine Dion in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It was created & directed by Franco Dragone & premiered on 25 March 2003. A 90-minute event, A New Day... introduced a new form of theatrical entertainment, a fusion of song, performance art, innovative stage craft & state-of-the-art technology. It ended on 15 December 2007, after a five-year run. A New Day... is the most successful residency of all time, grossing over US $385 million & drawing nearly 3 million people to 717 shows.
Dion initially intended for the show to be named Muse, but the band of the same name owned worldwide performing rights. Dion offered $50,000 for the rights, but the band declined, with Matthew Bellamy explaining that he did not want people to think they were Celine Dion's backup act.
The original plan for the stage backdrop/scenery was to simply use a giant video projector, but when the lighting designer, Yves Aucoin, pointed out that this would create unacceptable shadows when dancers ran in front of it, Angelil went back to Phil Anschutz, whose AEG Live was underwriting the production & persuaded him to contribute an extra $10 million for the construction of the largest indoor LED screen in North America. The LED screen was produced by Mitsubishi Diamond Vision LED Screens. This was a HDTV LED Screen Installation with an 8mm Display "Dot Pitch". The screen consisted of many separate LED panels put together.
The show was 1st filmed to serve as a TV Special for the opening night.
In 2003, the show was filmed again & a DVD was scheduled to be released in 2004. This release was cancelled. However, this DVD was shown to the audience during one of the shows when Celine was sick & couldn't perform.
Reportedly, another DVD was recorded between 2005 & 2006 with Celine having long brown hair and new costumes as many different extracts have appeared.
Finally, A New Day... was re-shot in high-definition in 2007 & released on DVD.
Live in Las Vegas - A New Day ... made history when became the only music DVD to be certified triple diamond in Canada, selling over 300,000 units. It held the no 1 position on the Music DVD Charts in many countries such as Canada, US, UK, France, Japan, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, New Zealand & Estonia. And in top 10 in many other countries. According to Billboard, the DVD was the 3rd best-selling music DVD of 2008 in the US & the best-selling by a female artist. At the end of 2009, the DVD was still charting in the top 10, being the 10th best-selling DVD in the US.
