Céline sur les Plaines (lit. 'Celine on the Plains') is the ninth home video by Canadian singer Celine Dion. Released in Canada by Productions J on 11 November 2008, it documents Dion's concert on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City before 250,000 spectators on 22 August 2008, staged as part of the city's 400th‑anniversary celebrations. The program was issued in France, Belgium, and Switzerland on 20 May 2009 under the title Live à Québec. It topped the charts in Canada, France, and Belgium, reached number two in Switzerland, and won the Félix Award for DVD of the Year in 2009.

Concert

In June 2008, Dion was announced as the headliner for a large‑scale outdoor concert marking Quebec City's 400th anniversary.[1] She personally selected the guest artists,[2] assembling a lineup that included Garou, Marc Dupré, Nanette Workman, Dan Bigras, Mes Aïeux, members of the Dion family, Zachary Richard, Éric Lapointe, Claude Dubois, Jean-Pierre Ferland, and Ginette Reno.[2] Together, Dion and her guests performed more than 30 songs for an audience of 250,000, while an additional 100,000 spectators watched the event on giant screens in Lévis.[3][4]

The concert became available the next day through video‑on‑demand services from Vidéotron, Shaw, and Cogeco.[5] Nearly 130,000 subscribers accessed the special offer.[5] On 21 September 2008, the event aired on TVA, drawing almost 1.8 million viewers and becoming the most‑watched program of the evening in Quebec.[5][6]

In October 2008, it was confirmed that the full concert would be released on DVD.[7] Céline sur les Plaines was issued in Canada on 11 November 2008.[8] The DVD includes more than three hours of material, combining the full concert with bonus footage and behind‑the‑scenes clips filmed during rehearsals, backstage, and on the day of the event.[3][7][8][9] On 20 May 2009, the program was released in France, Belgium, and Switzerland as Live à Québec.[10] A collector's edition containing 10 autographed photographs was also issued.[10]

Commercial performance

Céline sur les Plaines opened at number one on the Canadian Music DVD chart, selling 32,800 copies in its first week.[11][12] It became the highest‑selling DVD of any genre in Canada for 2008.[11][12] After three weeks, cumulative sales had reached 49,059 units.[5] As of June 2014, sales exceeded 100,000 copies, making the release eligible for diamond certification in Canada.[13]

Live à Québec also debuted at number one on the French Music DVD chart, remaining at the top for three consecutive weeks.[14] It sold 34,350 copies in 2009, making it the year's best‑selling music DVD by a female artist in France and the 10th best‑selling music DVD overall.[15] In 2010, it sold an additional 5,500 units, bringing total sales to 39,850 copies.[16] By June 2014, sales had surpassed 45,000 copies, making the release eligible for triple platinum certification in France.[17]

In Belgium's Wallonia region, Live à Québec entered the chart at number one and spent four weeks at the top. In Switzerland, it peaked at number two, and in Belgium's Flanders region, it reached number 10.
