| - In a word: incredible. Celine's voice sounds just as strong and powerful as it did on my Walkman in the 90s. This show experience, despite the large theater, was intimate and personal, and Celine came off as extremely genuine.
Show starts with a slide show of her late husband, Rene, and she speaks about him frequently between songs, making for a very emotional concert experience. The music is well-selected with a variety of hits, some jazz numbers, a french song, and a two-song encore; Bridgette L's recent review provides a current set list (thanks B!).
The stage decor is fairly simple, with understated backgrounds and specialized lighting, with Celine supported by a few vocalists and an entire live orchestra- they all sound amazing. Definitely stay through to the very end of the performance- whether you are sick and tired of the Titanic song or not, the way it is performed as the second to last song is impressive.
