Celine Dion returns to Las Vegas Dion, 33, will begin "an exclusive, extended engagement" beginning in March 2003 and lasting three years, promoters Concerts West announced Thursday. The big-lunged diva will perform in a brand-new, 4,000-seat theatre designed to resemble the Colosseum in Rome, Concerts West says. Born in Charlemagne, a small town 50 kilometers (30 miles) east of Montreal, Dion is perhaps best known for singing "My Heart Will Go On" from the 1997 movie "Titanic." The Quebecoise chanteuse, who gave birth to her first child on January 25, was recently named the world's bestselling female artist, selling more than 125 million albums worldwide over the past decade. The Las Vegas show will be produced by her husband Rene Angelil's company, CDA Productions, in association with Creations du Dragon, the promoters said. Dion withdrew from public life in January 2000 to try for a family. Her baby was conceived by artificial insemination, and is the fourth for Angelil, 58. Dion recently told Canadian television she hopes to have another child from a second embryo fertilized at the same time that is being conserved at a New York laboratory. The Las Vegas locale is a fitting one for the couple, married in 1994 -- they pledged their troth a second time in January 2000 in a lavish Caesar's Palace ceremony.
