Il Taking Chances World Tour 2008/2009 è il dodicesimo concert tour della cantante pop canadese Céline Dion, svoltosi dopo l'uscita degli album Taking Chances e D'elles. Il Tour ha segnato il ritorno di Céline Dion dopo il suo spettacolare show A New Day..., svoltosi a Las Vegas per cinque anni. Il tour visiterà 5 continenti, 25 nazioni e 88 città. Céline si esibirà in oltre 100 show.[1]

Informazioni sul Tour

Lo show è diretto da Jamie King (conosciuto per aver lavorato con Madonna, Christina Aguilera e le Spice Girls). Céline Dion si esibisce con alcuni dei suoi più grandi successi e con diverse canzoni estratte dall'album inglese Taking Chances.[2]

La durata è di due ore ed è diviso in quattro parti: soul, rock, Middle-Eastern e fashion-victim. Céline è supportata da 8 ballerini (4 maschi e 4 femmine). L'inizio di ogni tappa è preceduto dalla proiezione di un video, registrato appositamente dalla Dion che per ogni show sceglie (o registra) un video apposito. In questi video guida un'automobile ad alta velocità, mentre scorrono degli highlights della sua carriera.Uno spezzone remixato di "I Drove All Night", infine, introduce l'entrata di Céline e l'inizio del concerto.

Jamie King si è unito al tour il 2 Maggio 2008 a Manchester, nel Regno Unito. Dopo quella data, lo show non è stato più rappresentato su uno stage centrale (fatta eccezione per Tokio, in Giappone) per motivi logistici. Dopo due mesi e mezzo, Céline ha pensato di perfezionare il suo show creandone tre varianti: Una, la più utilizzata, consiste nell'esibire il repertorio in inglese e comprende l'utilizzo di schermi mobili, elevatori e nastri trasportatori. Un'altra variante consiste nell'esibire il repertorio francese in paesi francofoni utilizzando le stesse apparecchiature, mentre la terza variante viene utilizzata nel caso in cui ci siano seri problemi logistici nell'arena (o stadio) che deve ospitare lo show: Viene posto uno schermo al centro e molti riflettori intorno, creando così affascinanti giochi di luce da tutti e tre i lati.

Céline Dion e i suoi collaboratori cantano oltre 60 canzoni, divise fra Inglesi e Francesi. Di queste, circa 27 vengono cantate in ogni show, e una, "Por que tu m'aimes encore", viene cantata durante l'intero tour. Questo è il singolo in lingua francese di Céline più venduto in assoluto, e uno dei pochissimi che hanno avuto un enorme successo anche in paesi non-francofoni. La Dion canterà anche diverse cover, tra cui: "We Will Rock You" e "The Show Must Go On dei Queen," e "I Got the Feelin'" e "It's a Man's Man's Man's World di James Brown." Era inclusa anche la cover "I Got The Music In Me" di Kiki Dee, ma è stata rimossa dopo un concerto in Corea del Sud.[3]In un concerto a New York il 15 Settembre 2008 la Dion ha cantato "Because You Loved Me" con l'emergente cantante filippina Charice Pempengco.[4] Questa performance è stata registrata e trasmessa nell'Oprah Winfrey Show.

Dopo lo show in Pretoria, South Africa del 16 Febbraio 2008, René Angélil ha riorganizzato i concerti, includendo alcuni cambiamenti ai costimu scelti da Annie Horth e altri piccoli cambiamenti all'elenco delle canzoni.

Postponed concerts

Céline Dion was forced to postpone all her concerts in Australia due to a throat infection. Her Australian publicists said "Ms Dion is being treated with antibiotics for a minor throat infection and irritated sinuses that she has been suffering from for a number of days since arriving in Australia,".[6][7] Because of the itinerary changes, the concert scheduled for Malaysia was also changed and the concert in Beijing, China was canceled.[8]

Ten U.S. concerts scheduled between October 30, 2008 and November 23, 2008 were rescheduled as Dion recuperates from a recurrent naso-pharyngeal infection which was further complicated by inflamed vocal chords. Her physician has instructed her to refrain from singing in order to completely recover.[9] However, the San Diego concert at the San Diego Sports Arena was canceled. After reviewing artist and venue availability with tour logistics, the promoter AEG Live was unable to reschedule the concert.


Broadcasts and recordings

According to Dion's official website, a DVD for the tour is already in production. The DVD will feature two full-length concerts with English and French set list. The English set list was recorded in Boston, while the French one in Montréal. The DVD will also have a behind-the-scenes featurette following Céline Dion during the entire year long tour. No release date has been announced.[10]

On August 22, 2008, the City of Lévis aired Dion's honorary Quebec City's 400th birthday concert on both the web and television. Dion performed in front of 250,000 people.[11] Additionally on August 31, 2008, a special performance of "My Love," aired on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.[12]
