MUMBAI: It's going to be a dazzling show in the desert. Celine Dion is performing at Las Vegas on Wednesday 31 March 2004. But for the fan back home, Star World will be airing the concert live 10 pm onwards.
The channel will be airing the one-hour special Celine in Las Vegas...Opening Night Live! followed by the worldwide premiere of the music diva's superstar performance on a new $95 million theatre, specifically built for her remarkable three year live engagement.
Created by Franco Dragone (creator of Cirque du Soleil's "O", "Mystere") the show has been in the works for over two years and is a combination of the talents of the multi-Grammy Award winner Celine with the imaginative marvels of Dragone, says a company release.
Among the songs to be performed are "Power of Love," "I'm Alive," "The First Time," "I Wish," "I Drove All Night," and "I Surrender," as well as Celine's magnificent tribute to music legends Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee ("I've Got the World on a String" and "Fever").
Produced by Emmy-Award winning Ken Ehrlich (the grammys), this special is to be hosted by pop star Justin Timberlake, adds the release.
