Celine Dion | A New Day (Rehearsals, Auditions, Constructions, 2002) RARE

SUBSCRIBE!
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 & ended on 15 Dec 2007.
It was originally planned for 3 years (Dion received $100 million, plus 50% of the profits). However due to its success, continued for an additional 2 years. It is the most successful residency of all time, grossing over $385 million & drawing 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 lead singer Matthew Bellamy explaining that he did not want people to think they were Celine Dion's backup act.
The plan for the stage backdrop/scenery was to 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 year the show opened, A New Day... received mostly mixed reviews in the press, commenting on how there was not enough of a balance between concert & theater.
In the documentary, A New Day... The Secrets, included as a bonus in the Live in Las Vegas: A New Day..., Dion & Dragone commented on making changes through the years to include more appearances of the band members or to change Dion's look to make it more like what fans expected.
The show was 1st filmed to serve as a TV Special for the opening night. However, Celine in Las Vegas, Opening Night Live included only 8 songs.
In autumn 2003, the show was filmed again & a DVD was scheduled to be released in autumn 2004. Firstly, in June 2004, a CD entitled A New Day... Live in Las Vegas was released & included promotional information that a DVD was going to be released in autumn. 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 & new costumes as many different extracts have appeared.
Finally, A New Day... was re-shot in high-definition during the 17-21 January 2007 week & released on DVD. Including the concert & 3 documentaries: Because You Loved Me (A Tribute to the Fans), A New Day: All Access & A New Day: the Secrets, became very successful on the music DVD charts around the world.
Nearly 500,000 copies of the DVD were sold worldwide in its 1st week of release.
Even though the official DVD contains many extras, a lot of songs which were performed throughout the years have not been included:
Nature Boy, At Last, Fever, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Et je t'aime encore, Have You Ever Been in Love, Happy Xmas (War Is Over), God Bless America, In Some Small Way, What a Wonderful World, Can't Help Falling In Love, Taking Chances & The Christmas Song.
In addition, 2 instrumentals: A New Love & Aria Di Lucia De Lammermoor have been omitted as well.

Celine is so beautiful!!! The hard work. The determination. The passion. The voice. The presence. Send love and prayers to her for her speedy recovery. Lot of original ideas even before the final product. Experiment with various genres of music and dance but then putting Celine's greatest hits afterwards. Also RIP Franco Dragone.
