Let's Talk About Love World Tour (Tour from 1998 to 1999)

From August 1998 to December 1999, Celine Dion toured the stadiums of major cities around the world for her "Let's Talk About Love World Tour" tour. With this tour, Celine Dion, gives more than 90 performances in Asia, Europe and America.

Tour Programme

A tour programme in French and English was distributed. It was sold at all concerts Celine did during the "Let´s Talk About Love Tour" in 1998 and in 1999. There are 2 releases of this programme, one for the American leg of the tour in 1998, and the other was only sold in Europe in 1999. Printed on rice paper, it is the largest, the thickest, the richest tour programme released by Celine until that time. It is a real masterpiece. It contains tons of top-quality artistic pictures (from studio shoots and concerts), discography, the band list and a personal greeting from Celine. It contains 36 pages and its dimensions are 31 x 39,5 centimeter.
