Céline Dion Tours with grandMA
Success is often proven by numbers and 200 million albums sold is a testament to the Franco-Canadian artist Céline Dion. With her current album ‘Taking Chances' Dion completed her five year run at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace and is back on the road travelling around the globe again.
Her world tour leads to five continents, 24 countries, 84 towns and features 124 shows. Lighting designer Yves Aucoin uses for the show an MA Lighting grandMA system composed of one grandMA full-size plus one as back-up, one grandMA replay-unit, seven MA NSPs and four MA 2Port Nodes.
The lighting rig controlled by the grandMA is impressive: 188 Ayrton Dreampanel Floor 256s, 122 Ayrton Moduled 150 AWWs, 48 Ayrton Arcaline 50 RGBs, 24 Ayrton Dreampanel Wall 64s, 1,080 Element Labs Stealth LED-modules, 88 Vari*Lite VL3000 Spots, 32 VL2500 spots, 22 VL3500 washes, 18 VL3000 Wash and eight Robert Juliat Cyrano followspots are used to light the show.
Jamie King is show director, Louis-Philippe Gaudreau operates the grandma and Francois "Frankie" Desjardins is working as FOH-technician. Solotech delivered the lighting equipment. David Bergeron is the project manager for Solotech.
