Celine (concert residency)

[6][7][8] In March 2013, Dion's manager and husband, René Angélil, announced that the residency contract had been extended to 2019.

[10][11] On 24 March 2015, it was announced that Dion would resume the residency on 27 August 2015 with new theatrical and musical elements, along with a brand new look and feel.

Around the same time as the announcement of the return, Dion's management released a statement announcing the departure of the singer's longtime touring band members consisting of musical director Claude "Mego" Lemay, guitarist André Coutu, keyboardist Yves Frulla, bassist Marc Langis, and violinist Jean-Seb Carré.

The new band members consist of musical director Scott Price, guitarist Kaven Girouard, bassist Yves Labonte, and violinist Phillippe Dunnigan (taking on the main violin solos).

The repertoire is going to be extraordinary...a mix of timeless Hollywood classics, along with all the favorites that my fans like to hear me sing.

The residency was Directed and Produced by Ken Ehrlich with the creative production from Dion's long time Lighting Designer Yves Aucoin and Sound Mixer/Designer, Denis Savage.

[2] Moment Factory will be producing the visual elements for the residency (the company previously worked with Nine Inch Nails and DJ Tiesto).

Caesars Palace President, Gary Selesner stated that the first lot of shows through 17 April will be completely sold out.

Excerpts from this concert were shown in the documentary "Celine: 3 Boys and a New Show", which was broadcast in early October 2011 on the Oprah Winfrey Network, and also various advertisements for the residency.

The documentary included excerpts from rehearsals of "Open Arms", "Man In The Mirror", "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)", "Declaration Of Love", "Love Can Move Mountains", "All By Myself", "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", "The Reason" as well as from the premiere of: "Open Arms", "Goldfinger", "(If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini)", "All By Myself", "River Deep, Mountain High", "My Heart Will Go On" and "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?

The entire concert was filmed and excerpts of "Open Arms" and "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" were shown in the behind the scenes video of the event.

Following tragic hurricane season, on 20 September 2017, Celine's speech and excerpt of "Recovering" were released on Facebook encouraging people to donate money for the victims of the natural disaster.

Following Vegas mass shooting, Celine decided to continue her residency and resumed performing two days after the events.

On 31 December 2017, a short via satellite interview and an excerpt of "Because You Loved Me" were shown on CNN's New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.
