The opera project was dropped

October 4, 2009 at 06:00 PM

Celine as Maria Callas would be amazing! Las Vegas again would be a terrible mistake. That's just my opinion.

Celine don't need more money, she needs to bring the world's attention to her again with a brand new project full of quality.

i totally agree with this, but rene always goes where the money is. he doesnt care about the artistic side of things, what a shame.

This project would be the PERFECT next step....as long as it is done right. They need to take their time!

I don't see how Vegas again could be a good call. The first time around - it was brilliant. And she milked it! But - if she ever does it again - it needs to be SEVERAL years down the road. She needs to sustain her reputation.

No Vegas please! Have the baby, rest, and take care of that voice! Then come back with an amazing project like Callas which will force to train and push the limits of her art. They don't need more money! If you don't want to tour, then don't. I'll settle for an album and a movie. No touring for a couple of years, fine by me.

i like that many of you agree with me and say NO VEGAS!!

i mean really, who wants to see her do another round of the famous medley: IACMTMN, TLYM, BYLM, and for the predictable finale MHWGO :rolleyes: :whistling:

the thing is we need to let Rene be aware of this before they go and commit themselves.

how can we do this.. :ermm:

"She needs to sustain her reputation". Interesting. I wonder if Celine cares about that at all. Or if she simply thinks she needs to settle down and raise her children and live her life and be happy. From the little I know of Celine, I think that's probably her greatest concern.

lol... :sofunny:

well, I'm a little selfish Celine-fan, so I want to enjoy her upclose in Vegas now, so I'm pro-Vegas concerts, but Celine has time, esp. in her mid-40s it'll perfect time to pay tribute to Callas and even sing...Oh God I'd love her to sing opera if she can manage it...just can't wait...CELINE and MARIA are two great authorities for me (and in general I would say) in music and humanity! love them both...they just creat something that fulfill my life, my passion to music and culture!!!

yes i agree, Las Vegas would be an mistake... it's a one use thing, and Celine have already use it, so the second time it's not gonna work. If is the star of the Maria Callas movie, that would be one of the best things that ever happened in Celine's career.

October 12, 2009 at 04:21 PM

Vegas is a mistake, yes!

I'm not sure though that Celine will make a better Callas than Fany Ardant did (as an actress), but I surely hope she does something interesting.

October 12, 2009 at 05:43 PM

Celine as Callas? Comparisons would be inevitable and hardly flattering.

Celine is a perfect Callas....I think that will be a blockbaster... :w00t: nobody can play her as Celine will...she has the appearnace, gestures, and is capricious as Callas )) lol :flowers: can't wait!!! :msn-wink:

You either have never heard about La Callas or you have never heard about Celine, or you wouldn't ever even think of making such a comparison.

:yes: You all are so right! Whatever next step she takes will be good, as long as she keeps releasing new music albums. Call it the jazz album, movies, opera project, dance music... whatever, EXCEPT another A New Day in Vegas. That will be a certain death for her career, which is already in a deadlock.

And I totally agree with you when you say that one time was enough for Vegas :yes: . It worked once, because it was something new for her, and it was a new show for Vegas. But it was enough, and it won't work a second time. Please don't want to milk the cow with Céline that way too! :wink:

I'm sure you all know why Madonna keeps being so successful today, even she's 50 years old. The answer is simple, because every artist needs to "re-invent" herself to keep the attention of media and fans. There are very few exceptions on this rule (f.e. Enya, who keeps singing the same way as her first album, 20 years ago, and still greatly succesful with critics and sales).

Of course, going back to Vegas again can be as risky as releasing another ballads album like FIY today. Céline and her team have to be wise with her next step, if they really care about her international status, which is so damaged today. She has to do new music, but different to everything she has done before. Explore new musical territories. For that, a dance, jazz, spanish or opera album would be great And you can say "oh well that's risky too!" and I'll say yes, but she has nothing to loose with that, because she has never done it (which is all what this is about). But doing another Vegas for 2, 3 years? She has A LOT to loose :doh:

So is like that, Céline needs to innovate, and another Vegas stagnation stage for her career is the worst she can do for that. And the sooner the better with that, because the deadlock point in her career is lasting many years now!

What I'm saying is that expectations would be really high bec. it's a diva playing another diva (genre differences aside).

Celine herself knows the critics would tear her to shreds if she fails to do the acting part or the opera singing part real justice.

She'd have to be really focused w/c means no Vegas shows in between.

..well you sound sufficiently uncertian....!!!!!!!!!!!! comparison doesn't mean similarity in all aspects, in the context of making movie and being great as an artist this is more than a comparison!!!!!!!!!

....exactly.... well I think she will manage it...Celine does not need to play...she is a DIVA, it must be hard to play CALLAS, but Celine is already shaped Diva, simply she'll need to learn to be a little more Venetian Diva of 20th century...

January 19, 2011 at 05:47 PM

Have there been any news on that project ever since???

It was one of the things I was looking forward to badly!!!

And recently when I visited Maria Callas grave in Paris, I remembered about this project and thought whether there's going to be something or did they dropped it and it's an another wasted gem?....

January 19, 2011 at 05:52 PM

I'm sure it's another wasted gem. I am angry at the thought of them letting this go.

January 19, 2011 at 05:54 PM

LOL! Digging up old topics

January 19, 2011 at 06:02 PM

LOL! Digging up old topics

At first I looked on the main page and thought "OMG, news about the project!"

January 19, 2011 at 06:19 PM

I did the same thing, like OMG finally! :doh:

Edit: And now it's dropped.

I Believe Celine is a Soprano cause she can hit some squeeky notes in the head' A5 and D6 or B6)

According to Ken Nagano he said she was a Lyric Soprano.

January 19, 2011 at 07:07 PM

Yeah me too, but to find out that another great project has been turned down, after so many time without news, its like a slap on your face :ermm:

the spanish album

the jazz album

the movie/Callas project

the opera project

(....)

Of course she prefers to repeat herself and do another A New Day in Las Vegas :thumbdown: :crybaby:

January 19, 2011 at 07:21 PM

In a 2007 interview, she said that she was gonna do it, in fact, this is the only "dream" she has right now (in what concernes her career). She doesn't know when, but I'm sure she will do it, maybe after Vegas.

January 19, 2011 at 08:43 PM

When Celine was on Larry King 12 of december 2010 she said that this time it will be all about the music.

"The Musicians' The Orchestra' She will have special guests and can you imagine those names that will be on

stague with her.

"Andrea Bocelli' David Foster' Charice' Peabo Bryson' etc....as she said lots of surprises will happen in Las vegas

this time around.

So i think "All new music as well and her massive classic hits.

January 19, 2011 at 08:54 PM

damn i thought we had some news

Is it really dropped, or like most of her 'projects' somewhere in the vault? ;-)

but then we are having an orchestra in Vegas, and i think after that she loves performing with it, and after good reviews Rene will decide that she will go on the opera tour ;-)

January 19, 2011 at 10:24 PM

Exactely my thoughs: a slap in face...

2007 she tells it's her big dream, 2008 while spending a month in Berlin she takes classes at a opera teacher (was it Nagano?) and now... it's all forgotten and wasted...

Pff...

Sure, most of us will go to Vegas, most of us will still keep loving Céline no matter what direction her career will take and how many times she'll repeat herself, lol. Me included.

But those "wasted gems" like an opera project, a jazz album or an album with songs written by herself are like pinches in heart...

But yeah, we can still keep hoping... She's still young and she can show us many other of her musical faces!

(evem if in my opinion the older a voice the less suitable for oper/jazz it is in my ears)

If she only would...

Exactly what I think too :ermm: The more time that passes, the harder to see those projects coming reality. But its not only for the opera voice, its for whatever new projects she ever wanted to do, that they are continuoisly postponed each time more and more :whistling:

January 20, 2011 at 03:28 AM

Does anyone know the difference between Contralto and Lyric Soprano? Is one higher then the other?
