Celine Dion in Concert was the fifth concert tour by Canadian singer Celine Dion. Held between 14 August 1992 and 23 November 1993, the tour supported her second English‑language studio album, Celine Dion (1992). The tour included performances across the United States and Canada, beginning with her first major US touring engagement as the opening act for Michael Bolton and continuing with a series of headlining shows in Canada. The concert series incorporated songs from Dion's early English‑language albums, her French‑language releases, and several cover versions.
History In the summer of 1992, Dion embarked on her first United States tour as the opening act for Michael Bolton on his Time, Love and Tenderness Tour. The engagement began at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 13 July 1992 and concluded at the Pavilion at Star Lake in Pittsburgh on 13 August 1992. Over the course of one month, they performed 18 shows in 20,000‑seat venues. Dion also joined Bolton on stage for a duet performance of "Hold On, I'm Comin'".
Between August 1992 and November 1993, Dion toured extensively across Canada. On 15 August 1992, she performed before more than 45,000 people at a major outdoor concert held at Parc des Îles on Saint Helen's Island to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Montreal. She sang duets with Aaron Neville, Peabo Bryson, and the Atlanta Super Choir. The event was later broadcast on the CBC program Les beaux dimanches.
Dion's typical concert lasted approximately 90 minutes and presented a set of about 15 songs. The set list focused primarily on material from Celine Dion, accompanied by selections from Unison and Dion chante Plamondon. She also performed three cover songs: "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word", "Can't Help Falling in Love", and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman".
