Celebrating Celine - A New Day

Celebrating Celine comes to the Wyvern Theatre on Thursday 5 November, a tribute concert built around the music of Celine Dion. It's fronted by Lisa Harter, who's billed as the world's No.1 Celine Dion tribute artist, and she's backed by a full live band under the musical direction of Stephen 'Stretch' Price. The whole thing is framed as a live concert experience, with sound, lighting and screen visuals running alongside the music.

The show takes its inspiration from Dion's legendary Las Vegas residencies, and the setlist follows suit, pulling from her greatest hits. The ballads take up a good chunk of it: 'My Heart Will Go On', 'Because You Loved Me', 'All By Myself', 'The Power of Love' and 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now' are all on the list. There are anthems in there too, like 'River Deep, Mountain High' and 'I'm Alive', with sing-along moments built into the set. The producers make it clear that this is a tribute production and isn't affiliated with the original artist, her estate or her management companies.

It's a full-band show rather than a solo act, so you'll have a live band on stage with Harter throughout. The visuals on the screen are part of the production as well, not just a backdrop. If you've spent years listening to those records and want to hear them played live in a theatre setting, this is exactly that: a night of her best-known songs, from the big ballads to the more uptempo numbers, with a live band and a singer fronting it.

It's at the Wyvern Theatre on Theatre Square, Swindon SN1 1QN, on Thursday 5 November, starting at 7:30pm.
