Sarah Brightman

The 56-year-old English classical crossover soprano, actress, songwriter, and dancer, the world's biggest selling soprano, "is an international superstar as beloved for her staggering vocal range (over three full octaves) as for her impassioned film and stage performances."

Brightman, one of the best singers of our time, is credited with pioneering "the so-called classical crossover genre." She has an illustrious past starring in Andrew Lloyd Webber productions on Broadway with shows like Phantom of the Opera and Cats. You will see the videos of some of her performances on this page.

She is the first artist to have been invited to perform at two Olympic games, first at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games and in Beijing to an estimated four billion people, worldwide. The operatic pop star has 11 albums, the latest being Dreamchaser, an album centered on her interest in the heavens.

"Brightman now directs her goals even higher."

It is her intention to visit the International Space Station in 2015. "She is a part of a three-person crew travelling to the International Space Station on board a Soyuz rocket. Once on the ISS she intends to become the first professional musician to sing from space!"

Phantom of the Opera is the most successful musical of all time and the best-selling cast album ever!

This is the cast album of the original 1986 London production with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman which has been remastered by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

In 1981, she made her West End musical theatre debut in "Cats", where she met composer (and later husband), Andrew Lloyd Webber. Webber originally wrote the famous Phantom Of The Opera song "The Music Of The Night" for Sarah.

She starred in several other Broadway musicals, including "The Phantom of the Opera", where she originated the role of "Christine Daaé".

Was Sarah Brightman the Best Christine Ever?

This album gets mixed reviews. Some say they are disappointed because the music is not what they expect from Brightman. Some say that's the thing they like about it. Read the reviews on Amazon.
