Due to the unprecedented sold-out success of Celine's Las Vegas show, the
original three-year engagement was extended an additional two years. On December
15th, 2006, Celine announced that she was entering the last year of performances
with the final curtain set to rise and fall on December 15th, 2007.
Celine made her fifth Oscar ceremony appearance at the 79th Academy Awards on
Sunday, February 25th, 2007, performing as part of an elegant tribute honoring
famous Italian composer, Ennio Morricone. Celine also recorded the song, “I Knew
I Loved You,” for the tribute album, "We All Love Ennio Morricone," a CD
saluting Mr. Morricone's career achievements as one of the premier composers of
music in film. The album included such notable artists as Bruce Springsteen,
Roger Waters, Andrea Bocelli and Yo-Yo Ma.
In May 2007, Celine released ‘D’elles’, her first French-language studio album
in 4 years. This collection of songs that centers around the theme of ‘Woman’
features lyrics written by the most influential female book authors from France
and Quebec. ‘D’elles’ was an instant success, being certified 2X platinum during
the same month in which it was released and reaching #1 in Canada, France,
Belgium and Switzerland. Celine's long-time friend and collaborator,
Jean-Jacques Goldman acted as music supervisor on this project and Jacques
Veneruso, David Gategno, Erick Benzi, Gildas Arzel, Marc Dupré and Jean-François
Breau contributed to the musical score.
Shortly after the release of ‘D’elles’, Celine was back in the studio recording
songs for her next English studio album, ‘Taking Chances’. A month before
‘Taking Chances’ was released, Celine announced that after she finished her
5-year run in Las Vegas, she would embark on a brand new world tour starting on
February 14, 2008!
