Designed
by Marie-Josee Gravel of TRIPLEX communications, the A NEW DAY... visual
took its inspiration from Celine and the DRAGONE creators' vision for
the show. "At the heart of the illustration is a mouth - lips formed by
the suggested pulse of a heartbeat, vocal chords, the vibrations of an
instrument. We discover an image of Celine that is grand and pure in its
simplicity. The silhouette evokes a force, a passion, a fragility. Celine
emerges from amongst the brilliant lights of Las Vegas. Her rhythm is
internal... she is listening, watching."
Celine Dion was moved by the final result of the visual. In her words... "For me, this image represents the moment in music when all instruments are in harmony - a strong and intense moment. I see a heartbeat in the fire of the desert, a soft but powerful feeling in the center of Las Vegas, the city of lights and passions. I see my old self to the left, the new to the right. This show marks a turning point in my personal journey. 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... is a spectacle created for, with and about Celine Dion. It will be a subtle balance of concert, dance, theatre and multi-media in which the audience will be transformed to a virtual world. Each song will evoke a different visual experience, a universe of its own - live and alive. A NEW DAY... will feature the largest indoor LED screen in North America. DRAGONE will use this innovation to baffle and tease the imagination of the audience, to transport them to Celine's new universe. There they will reunite to share the common experience that can be explored through a single song. They will witness the songstress as a "grande dame", a storyteller who will share her experiences in a visual feast for the senses! Celine Dion now joins a cast of sixty dancers, musicians and artists who have been rehearsing in La Louviere, Belgium since June. Rehearsals include dance, aerial, vocal, percussion, acrobatic and theatrical workshops. The cast hails from around the globe, the individuals renowned in their various disciplines. They were chosen from among thousands through auditions in Montreal, London, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and La Louviere. Rehearsals will continue through mid-November in Belgium after which Celine and the team will re-locate to their new home in Las Vegas, The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Celine will be releasing a third single, Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) in November - from her No. 1 album 'A New Day Has Come'. To date, Celine has sold over 150 million albums worldwide, making her the biggest selling female artist of all time. Park Place Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: PPE), a leading owner and operator of world-class casino resorts, is building The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. 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.... The Colosseum will feature a vast performance space that is at once intimate and immense. Park Place is building 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. "With construction more than ninety percent complete, The Colosseum already is changing the landscape of the Las Vegas Strip," said Park Place President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas E. Gallagher. "Caesars Palace built its world-wide reputation by presenting the very best. With A NEW DAY... at The Colosseum, we're creating a unique theatrical experience that will live up to that high standard of excellence."
