Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[Céline RO]

To be honest, i can see her taking her time with this. Her last US show will be April, i can see her (and want her) to take time off till around Late June, finish Europe by Late August, take a break until around November, run through Asia - Oceania in that period then in like February, do South africa and South America

 

As far as I remember, she didn't take breaks longer than 1 month in any of her other world tours (except 1999 when René had cancer) so I don't really see her taking long breaks. I think the tour is going to end around November - December 2020 meaning it would last about 1 year and 2 months.

Well shes doing it different this time around. Shes taking 2-4 week breaks after every 12 shows or so, which is smart IMO. Preserves her voice and prevents her from losing her mind

[nuts2you]

do you all think they have started rehearsals yet,

[AdrienneM]

do you all think they have started rehearsals yet,

 

Oh most definitely. She said in her “leaving vegas, whats next” video theyve been putting ideas together for a couple of months already. Rehearsals will have probably been going on for a while, but she may do a dress rehearsal or two in early september probably

[Jeanette]

I would say they’ve been putting the concept of the show together for a couple of months but I’d be surprised if they’ve started any physical rehearsals.

 

After all, she said in an interview a few months back that she was currently putting the Hyde Park show together and as we saw there clearly wasn’t any such pre rehearsals etc involved until the run through/sound check the day before the concert. I take everything she says in interviews with a grain of salt most of the time lol.

 

I’m just so hoping for a more complete show this time round. I’m hoping for dancers, stage effects not just visuals, an exciting entrance and a completely reworked setlist including a different opening song.

[Céline RO]

There was an article that said that she will start rehearsing after September 1st in the Centre Vidéotron. So probably right now she’s just enjoying the summer with her kids.

I cant wait to see what kind of merchandise they will sell, and programs. that's what I'm look forward to and her outfits,

[Jeanette]

Just thinking about the tour starting before the album release and when you think about it, the first 9 dates are primarily French which wouldn’t consist of many new songs from new English Album anyway so possibly that’s why they’re starting in French Canadian Cities. This means there’s actually only about 9 English language shows prior to the album release which isn’t that many, providing the album is released on Nov. 1st, as posted somewhere but not sure if that’s confirmed.

 

I reckon for these shows pre album release we’ll get FOMO, Courage, Lying Down and maybe one more, with hopefully another one or two new songs introduced as the tour progresses.

 

I’m just looking forward to seeing the new staging, new visuals and concepts for this tour. I hope so much that these are all new!!

 

Do we know who is directing this production, as a director like Jamie King from TCWT is most definitely needed.

Like i said before... This upcoming tour needs a creative director. I really hope they stop with the simple setup and be creative again.

I also feel it being dates in Montreal and Quebec will calm her slightly, theyre like her safetynet and she can do no wrong, so she’ll be more at ease by the time shes onto the US shows... it also builds intrigue as to what the full english set list will be

[Kerol]

I'm dying to know the european dates, but I don't think they will announce it before December/January - which will be really good for my purse. I learned, the Paris Fashion Week Haute Cotour is going to be from 5th July till 9th July 2020, so I'm pretty sure she will be in Europe around then. I would love if she come to Hungary but I don't think this will ever happen.

[ryba]

I’m dying to know the setlist don’t want to be disappointed though, so I’m not expecting too much...

[AdrienneM]

I can just tell there are gonna be complaints first night about the set, and i can already tell who it will be that will complain... with zero reason considering the first what? 9 dates are Francophone. Im very excited to see how they utilise the catwalks

[DionFanAlways]

I can’t wait for the start of the tour because I’m so ready to hear the French songs!! I miss them. I hope she does EUS, I love it!

Of course! Unless they'll be creative this time. I'm sure there will be no complains on that part.

 

For the setlist, I'm pretty sure it will be a different setlist.. A whole new setlist. Except for the obvious certain songs (Lipped)

Well we already have catwalks, we just need maybe an elevator, some crazy lights, new interludes (except the IACBTMN one, i love it), great costumes, maybe a dance or two, a choir maybe, a cool effect or two

Not necessarily.. alot of the post- 2003/2004 decisions and additions made in AND were made by celine, rene and the head choreographer, along with Yves obviously

Not really, It's still Franco Dragone made the AND show. The Creative Director. If weren't for Dragone "the creative director" there's no a new day like show. He created it and made it gorgeous. And I want it again. I want to see it LIVE.

Yes, but all the songs they added in after the initial show which was dragones show, were designed and choreographed by Celine, Rene, Yves and the head choreographer

[Javito]

They need the magic word *creativity* in all ways and territories SO BAD. Songs setlist, production, stage, visuals... It' urgent. And it's now or never for Céline, I'm afraid.

[AdrienneM]

I feel she’s definitely going to take at least a year or two off... i dont know if I’ll be able to cope lol!!

 

I could forsee her doing a small, intimate anti tour around europe after her return. Which i would 100% fly to europe for

[jpatdeleon09]

Only the songs. But the whole look of the show. It’s all the creative director’s work. Of course Franco Dragone still has the final say with all those changes to look better

No... for example, River Deep Mountain High, it was said he thought it was kitschy, but they added and created a whole set up for it as a highlight of the show. Pour Que Tu Maimes Encore and A New Day Has Come too. Franco was busy with his own things and apart from what he initially created and designed as a visionary, it was all celine and her creative team behind it

Only the songs. But it’s franco’s work to make that song number the best. Those creative teams are part of Franco’s like the set designer, projection content designer, etc.

Franco was busy with his own projects, all the songs added after the initial set list were designed in choreography and in set design by Celines own team and creative people. For example: “And the homestretch now celebrates the cast as a bonded unit with the Ike & Tina Turner classic 'River Deep—Mountain High.' Dragone would have found it cheesy back in '03, Now, he probably realizes the show needed an energy that had been stifled in its overproduced infancy.” Which shows that it wasnt dragones direction

LOL again the creative director still has the final say in all these. Since he made that show. He created that show. So those things like the RDMH. He’s part of that. That’s why it looks amazing. Why do you think they’re showing all the final clips (includes all the changes that you said) under Franco’s portfolio.

 

Created by Dragone

 

 

I think you’re talking about the 2nd residency show. That’s céline and her team’s work. 2015-recent.

No.... im not.

 

If someone makes a show, they only have to yes or no approve what someone else adds into the show after they depart. So because something looks good that automatically means its was franco? I dont think so. He created the show we saw at the beginning of 2003, the show went through a huge overhaul by 2007, so unless it was present in 2003, it probably wasn’t Francos bespoke creation.

[jpatdeleon09]

That’s why in order to have the best show. They need AGAIN an artistic/creative director. There’s no creative director in céline’s team.

Huge overhaul? The only changes are the songs and the outfits. Still the same. Compare the power of love 2003 to 2007. Same. The looks of the song numbers still made by Dragone

 

We need Jamie King and Franco Dragone like creative directors again for this new tour.

 

You know why the reshot the A New Day? It’s the hair.
