(1992–1993) }} The '''Unison Tour''' was the fourth concert tour by Canadian singer [Celine Dion](/source/Celine_Dion), launched to promote her first English‑language studio album, ''[Unison](/source/Unison_(Celine_Dion_album))'' (1990).{{cite web |title=Where Céline Has Performed |url=http://www.celinedion.com/celinedion/english/whatsgoinon_tour.cgi?page=11&display=100 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121216062101/http://www.celinedion.com/celinedion/english/whatsgoinon_tour.cgi?page=11&display=100 |archive-date=16 December 2012 |access-date=17 December 2012}} Spanning three legs between 10 October 1990 and 9 October 1991, the Unison Tour included 75 concerts across Canada, covering both Francophone and Anglophone regions.{{cite web |title=Chronologie |url=http://www.pierregravel.com/humoristes/FMassicotte/presse/Chronologie.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081015131424/http://www.pierregravel.com/humoristes/FMassicotte/presse/Chronologie.pdf |archive-date=15 October 2008 |access-date=11 March 2016}} == History == In September 1990, ''[RPM](/source/RPM_(magazine))'' magazine reported that Dion would be heading across Canada on her first nationwide tour.{{cite magazine |title=CBS/Dion U.S. Assault May Include Carson |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/RPM/90s/1990/RPM-1990-09-22.pdf |magazine=[RPM](/source/RPM_(magazine)) |date=22 September 1990 |volume=52 |issue=19 |page=2 |access-date=April 4, 2026}} She was scheduled to appear at 2,000 to 3,000‑seat venues, beginning in Quebec and moving from the east coast to the west. The tour, produced by [Donald K. Tarlton](/source/Donald_K._Tarlton), was originally planned to kick off in [Montreal](/source/Montreal) on 16 October 1990.{{cite magazine |title=DKD Is Optimistic About Future of Concert Business |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/RPM/90s/1990/RPM-1990-10-06.pdf |magazine=RPM |date=6 October 1990 |volume=52 |issue=21 |page=9 |access-date=April 4, 2026}} The tour consisted of three legs. The first Quebec leg began on 10 October 1990 in [Drummondville](/source/Drummondville) and concluded on 16 December 1990 in Montreal. During the 13 October 1990 performance in [Sherbrooke](/source/Sherbrooke), Dion temporarily lost her voice for the second time in her career, the first having occurred during the [Incognito Tour](/source/Incognito_Tour).{{cite book |last=Glatzer |first=Jenna |title=Céline Dion: For Keeps |url=https://archive.org/details/celinedionforkee0000glat |publisher=Andrews McMeel Publishing |year=2005 |isbn=0-7407-5559-5 |url-access=registration}} As a result, three concerts scheduled for 16–18 October 1990 at [Théâtre Saint-Denis](/source/Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_Saint-Denis) in Montreal were postponed. On 20 December 1990, the remainder of the tour was postponed for approximately two months due to Dion's continued recovery from laryngitis and fatigue following a demanding series of performances. Shows in [Quebec City](/source/Quebec_City), Sherbrooke, [Ottawa](/source/Ottawa), and [Trois-Rivières](/source/Trois-Rivi%C3%A8res) planned for early 1991 were rescheduled for the spring. The second leg, running from February to April 1991, focused on English‑speaking regions of Canada, including a concert at the [Winter Garden Theatre](/source/Elgin_and_Winter_Garden_Theatres) in [Toronto](/source/Toronto).{{cite magazine |title=Celine Dion HasBeen Firmed for Toronto's Winter Garden Theatre (March 15) |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/RPM/90s/1991/RPM-1991-03-02.pdf |magazine=RPM |date=2 March 1991 |volume=53 |issue=13 |page=2 |access-date=April 4, 2026}} The third and final leg took place between 19 May and 9 October 1991, comprising 37 concerts in 25 cities. == Opening acts == * François Massicotte (select dates) == Set list == The following songs were performed during various dates of the tour.{{cite web |title=Céline Dion's 1990 Concert History |url=https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/celine-dion--2?year=1990 |website=Concert Archives |access-date=11 March 2026}}{{cite web |title=Céline Dion's 1991 Concert History |url=https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/celine-dion--2?year=1991 |website=Concert Archives |access-date=11 March 2026}} # "Love by Another Name" # "If Love Is Out the Question" # "[Have a Heart](/source/Just_Have_a_Heart)" # "[Délivre-moi](/source/Love_in_the_Shadows_(E._G._Daily_song))" # "[D'abord, c'est quoi l'amour?](/source/D'abord%2C_c'est_quoi_l'amour%3F)" # "I Feel Too Much" # "Hello Mégo" # "[Can't Live with You, Can't Live Without You](/source/Can't_Live_with_You%2C_Can't_Live_Without_You)" # "[Calling You](/source/Calling_You)" # "[(If There Was) Any Other Way](/source/(If_There_Was)_Any_Other_Way)" # "[The Last to Know](/source/The_Last_to_Know)" # "[Unison](/source/Unison_(song))" # "[Where Does My Heart Beat Now](/source/Where_Does_My_Heart_Beat_Now)" == Tour dates == {| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;" |+ List of 1990 concerts{{cite book |last=Beauregard |first=Sylvain |title=Passion Celine Dion: The Book |publisher=Trafford Publishing |year=2002 |isbn=1-55369-212-8}}{{cite news |title=The Press-Republican, 8 November 1990 |url=http://news2.nnyln.net/plattsburgh-press-republican/plattsburgh-press-republican-1990-november/plattsburgh-press-republican-1990-november%20-%200239.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723230814/http://news2.nnyln.net/plattsburgh-press-republican/plattsburgh-press-republican-1990-november/plattsburgh-press-republican-1990-november%20-%200239.pdf |archive-date=23 July 2011 |access-date=11 March 2016}}{{cite web |title=Performance History – Arden Theatre |url=http://www.ardentheatre.com/history/1990-91.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121223208/http://www.ardentheatre.com/history/1990-91.html |archive-date=21 November 2008 |access-date=11 March 2016}}{{cite web |title=Canadian Entertainment Mogul Donald K.
