The Show...*

Céline Dion and the creators, cast and crew of A NEW DAY…
bring to the stage an unprecedented combination of performance, passion
and technical innovation. The show is created by DRAGONE and is presented
at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. A NEW DAY… presented
by Chrysler is produced by Concerts West, an AEG Live company.
“Our goal with this project is to create a unique spectacle of
song, theatre, dance and state-of-the-art technology,” said Franco
Dragone. “I see Céline as a satellite who captures images.
She will use the stage to create her own universe and share it intimately
with the audience. A NEW DAY… presented by Chrysler shows Céline’s
immense talent in a new art form. We hope to heighten and intensify
the senses so that each spectator leaves the show seeing more than they
did the day before.”
Céline is thrilled with the opportunity to bring her music to
a major theatrical production. “This show marks a turning point
in my professional journey,” she said. “It will guide me
to self-discovery, to push the limits of performance and offer a new
stage experience to my devoted fans.”
A
NEW DAY… presented by Chrysler transports the audience to a unique
theatrical world; each song evokes a different visual experience. A
NEW DAY… presented by Chrysler features the largest indoor LED
screen in North America. Dragone uses the screen to evoke the mood within
the music and create an environment that transcends the usual physical
limitations of theatrical productions. With lighting, projected images,
traditional props and remarkably sharp three-dimensional screen graphics,
the set for A NEW DAY… presented by Chrysler places Céline,
the performers and, indeed, the audience in European town squares, great
city centers, picturesque antique temples and starry sky-scapes. An
extraordinary illusion of depth is created; the 4,000-seat Colosseum
ends up feeling less like a traditional theatre than like an immense
public space. A NEW DAY… presented by Chrysler is theatre of life.
Céline
is joined by a cast of fifty-eight performers, musicians and vocalists.
The artists have not only worked at perfecting stunning choreographies,
but have mastered the challenges of physical and aerial training and
percussion and vocal sessions through intensive workshops in Belgium
and Las Vegas. The elite international cast was selected from among
thousands at auditions in Montreal, London, Paris, Amsterdam, New York,
Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and La Louvière, Belgium.

The musicians
- most
of whom have been touring with Céline for nearly a decade - include
background vocalists, an accordionist, a flutist, cellists, a drummer,
a percussionist, a pianist and guitarists. Céline’s longtime
bandleader, Claude “Mégo” Lemay, plays keyboards.
The music ranges from classic Céline to beautifully-arranged

million albums worldwide, making her the biggest selling female artist
of all time.
The Colosseum at Caesars Palace was built by Caesars’ parent
company, Park Place Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: PPE), a leading
owner and operator of world-class hotel-casino-resorts. A contemporary
interpretation of one of antiquity's architectural wonders, the 4,000-seat
entertainment and event venue has been specially created for A NEW DAY…
presented by Chrysler. The Colosseum features a vast performance space
and a feel that is at once roomy and intimate.
Park Place built the $95 million Colosseum as the centerpiece of a
new construction program at Caesars Palace that began when Park Place
acquired the resort on December 29, 1999. "Caesars Palace built
its world-wide reputation by presenting the very best. With A NEW DAY…
presented by Chrysler at The Colosseum, we’re creating a unique
theatrical experience that will live up to that high standard of excellence.”
Based in Los Angeles, Concerts West is one of the world's largest producers
and promoters of live music events and tours. Run by veteran tour promoters
John Meglen and Paul Gongaware, the company's primary focus is indoor
arenas and theaters, which allows for an extension of artists' tours

Barry Manilow, Dixie Chicks and Yanni, to name just a few. Concerts
West is an AEG Live Company.
