Celine Dion [ tickets ] has scheduled about a third of the approximately 200 dates she's expected to play in Las Vegas during 2004, and tickets for most shows set through early May are on sale now.

The French-Canadian singer debuted her Las Vegas production, dubbed "A New Day ... featuring Celine Dion," in March of 2003. Dion played on about 150 nights during her inaugural year at The Colosseum, a venue at Caesar's Palace built specifically for the production.

The show, which plays Wednesdays through Sundays, ranked second on concert-industry magazine Pollstar's year-end list of the year's top-grossing live acts, taking in $80.5 million.

Tickets for all of Dion's performances from April 14 through May 2 are scheduled to go on sale on Friday (1/2) at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, according to a press release. Tickets for all of the other shows on the itinerary below have already hit the market.

Show creator Franco Dragone described the production in a statement: "Our goal with this project is to create a unique spectacle of song, theater, dance and state-of-the-art technology. I see Celine as a satellite who captures images. She will use the stage to create her own universe and share it intimately with the audience. ... We hope to heighten and intensify the senses so that each spectator leaves the show seeing more than they did the day before.”

In October, Dion and photographer Anne Geddes--best known for her photos of costumed babies--announced that they are collaborating on "The Miracle Project," which is billed as "a compelling, powerful, and inspiring collection of songs and images [that] will honor the moving, tender, and unbreakable bond of love that exists between a mother and her baby."

The "body of work" will be distributed through music and booksellers beginning in October of 2004, according to a press release.
