Celine Dion - Au cœur du stade (CD)

In 1999, Céline au coeur du stade, was recorded live during two sold-out concerts at the Stade de France in Paris. Celine makes musical history with these two concerts, becoming the first artist to perform for more than 90,000 spectators, with a grand total of 180,000 ticketholders over the two nights.

The concerts are nearly cancelled when René receives his first cancer diagnosis. Celine is torn between her professional obligations and her desire to remain at her husband’s side. Thanks to technology, the couple remain in direct contact with each other during both shows, and René watches live via the internet. The audience sees Celine use hand gestures to communicate moving messages of love to him. Even the audience joins in, waving posters that express words of love and encouragement for René.

The concert includes songs taken mainly from the album S’il suffisait d’aimer. Jean-Jacques Goldman shares the stage with Celine for a lively version of “J’irai où tu iras” before the audience joins them for an a cappella version of the chorus to “S’il suffisait d’aimer”. With just two English performances, Celine sings “Let’s Talk About Love” surrounded by a children’s choir and “My Heart Will Go On” as the finale.
