PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF DENISE TRUSCELLO A NEW CELINE After A yeArlong hiAtus, the Queen of lAs VegAs reclAims her throne Atop the colosseum's stAge. Celine Dion didn't invent the Las Vegas residency, but in her 12 years of headlining at Caesars Palace's Colosseum, she has certainly brought the concept into a new era of unmatched decadence. Returning to the stage this past August after a year away from it, Dion premiered an entirely reworked show that's light-years away from A New Day…, the glitzy production she unveiled for Vegas audiences in 2003. The backup dancers and Cirque du Soleil acrobats have been replaced with a live orchestra— perhaps the most fitting complement to Dion's soaring vocals, unless you count her brand-new custom wardrobe from the designers behind Atelier Versace, Schiaparelli, Elie Saab, and Mugler—and technologically assisted duets with a string of iconic performers, including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and the Bee Gees, who join the singer in video and holographic form. After more than a decade on the Strip, Dion's gravitational pull remains unprecedented, but like all of the best things in Vegas, the spectacle that she's created never stops evolving.
