History

The tour consisted of three legs. It began in Quebec in October 1990, opening in Drummondville and concluding on 6 December 1990 in Quebec City. During the 13 October 1990 performance in Sherbrooke, Dion temporarily lost her voice for the second time in her career, the first having occurred during the Incognito Tour.[3] As a result, three concerts scheduled for 16–18 October 1990 at Théâtre Saint-Denis in Montreal were postponed.[3]

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, Sherbrooke, Ottawa, and Trois-Rivières 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. The third and final leg took place between 19 May and 9 October 1991, comprising 37 concerts in 25 cities. The tour concluded on 31 August 1991 in Quebec City.
