About Celine Dion
Celine Dion grew up in a musical family in Charlemagne, Quebec, and began recording in French before developing an English-language career. Unison marked that transition in 1990. Her repertoire includes film songs such as Beauty and the Beast and My Heart Will Go On, alongside the French-language album D'eux, made with Jean-Jacques Goldman. Albums including Falling into You and Let's Talk About Love extended her international recording work. The stage production A New Day... brought her concert career into a long Las Vegas residency.
