Au cœur du stade (lit. 'In the heart of the stadium') is the fifth home video by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released on 30 August 1999 by Columbia Records.[1] The 90‑minute concert was recorded in June 1999 at the Stade de France in Paris during the Let's Talk About Love World Tour. Across two sold‑out shows, Dion performed for more than 90,000 spectators each night, with a combined attendance exceeding 180,000.[2] The release was certified diamond in France.
Content
During the concerts, Dion was joined by Jean-Jacques Goldman for "J'irai où tu iras". "To Love You More" includes a performance by violinist Taro Hakase, while Diana King appears on screen during "Treat Her Like a Lady". Dion also performed several songs associated with the Bee Gees, including "Stayin' Alive" and "You Should Be Dancing". A video duet of "Tell Him" with Barbra Streisand was shown during the concerts but not included on the DVD.
The DVD contains behind‑the‑scenes material from the making of S'il suffisait d'aimer and Let's Talk About Love. It also includes an appearance by Sir George Martin and rare footage of Dion, Streisand, David Foster, and lyricist Linda Thompson discussing "Tell Him". The full "Tell Him" music video is provided as a bonus.
A CD edition of the concert was released separately.
Commercial performance
Au cœur du stade received a diamond certification in France in 2001 for sales exceeding 100,000 copies.[3]
