The Charmbracelet World Tour: An Intimate Evening with Mariah Carey was the fifth worldwide concert tour by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey in support of her ninth studio album Charmbracelet (2002). The tour, while originally planned to start on May 31, 2003, ultimately started on June 21, 2003 in Seoul, South Korea, and visited several countries in Asia, Europe, and North America before ending on February 26, 2004 in Dubai.
Broadcasts and recordings[]
Universal Music France confirmed that Carey's entire concert at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy was filmed and there were plans for an eventual home video and DVD release, along with footage from Carey's promo tour and travels from early 2003. In April 2004, Universal Music France reported that the DVD was set to be released in November 2004 and would feature performances from cities around the world, instead of just the Paris show in its entirety. The DVD remains unreleased as of August 2023.
The entire show at the Fort Bonifacio Open Field in Taguig was filmed and broadcast on Filipino TV channel GMA-7 Manila.
The performance of "What Would You Do" from the third Los Angeles show was filmed and was supposed to be featured on Shade Sheist's then-upcoming DVD Unfadeable. Neither the DVD or the performance were released.
