Sarah Brightman (born 14 August 1960)<ref>Sarah Brightman filmography, British Film Institute; Sarah Brightman, Playbill; Template:Cite book</ref> is an English classical crossover soprano singer and actress.

Brightman began her career as a member of the dance troupe Hot Gossip and released several disco singles as a solo performer. In 1981, she made her West End musical theatre debut in Cats and met composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, whom she later married. She went on to star in several West End and Broadway musicals, including The Phantom of the Opera, where she originated the role of Christine Daaé. Her original London cast album of Phantom was released in CD format in 1987 and sold 40 million copies worldwide, making it the biggest-selling cast album ever.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

After retiring from stage acting and divorcing Lloyd Webber, Brightman resumed her music career with former Enigma producer Frank Peterson, this time as a classical crossover artist. She has been credited as the creator and remains among the most prominent performers of this genre, with worldwide sales of more than 25 million albums and two million DVDs, establishing herself as the world's best-selling soprano.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Brightman's 1996 duet with the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, "Time to Say Goodbye", topped the charts all over Europe and became the highest and fastest-selling single of all time in Germany, where it stayed at the top of the charts for 14 consecutive weeks and sold over three million copies.<ref name="Bocelli on Decca.com">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="Bocelli Bio">Template:Cite web</ref> It subsequently became an international success, selling 12 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all-time.<ref>[1] Template:WebarchiveTemplate:Title missing</ref><ref>[2] Template:WebarchiveTemplate:Title missing</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She has collected over 200 gold and platinum record awards in 38 countries.<ref name="sarah-brightman.com">Template:Cite web</ref> In 2010, she was named by Billboard the fifth most influential and best-selling classical artist of the 2000s decade in the US<ref name="Billboard">Template:Cite magazine</ref> and according to Nielsen SoundScan, she has sold 6.5 million albums in the country.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Brightman is the first artist to have been invited twice to perform the theme song at the Olympic Games, first at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games where she sang "Amigos Para Siempre" with the Spanish tenor José Carreras with an estimated global audience of one billion people, and 16 years later in 2008 in Beijing, this time with Chinese singer Liu Huan, performing the song "You and Me" to an estimated four billion people worldwide.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 2012, Brightman was appointed as the UNESCO Artist for Peace for the period 2012–2014, for her "commitment to humanitarian and charitable causes, her contribution, throughout her artistic career, to the promotion of cultural dialogue and the exchanges among cultures, and her dedication to the ideals and aims of the Organization".<ref name="autogenerated1">Template:Cite web</ref> Since 2010, Brightman has been Panasonic's global brand ambassador.<ref name="panasonic1">Template:Cite web</ref>

Family and early life

Brightman is the eldest of six children of businessman Grenville Brightman (1934<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>–1992) and Paula Brightman, née Hall.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She was brought up in Little Gaddesden near Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England.<ref>Home in Berkhamstead Template:Webarchive Retrieved 27 October 2016.</ref> At the age of three she began taking dance and piano classes. She then went on to perform in local festivals and competitions.<ref name=BillboardJan2008>Template:Cite magazine</ref> At age 11, she successfully auditioned for the Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, a school specialising in performing arts.<ref name=ranker/>

She received her education at Elmhurst Ballet School, Camberley,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> the Arts Educational School in Chiswick, West London,<ref name=ranker>Template:Cite web</ref> and the Royal College of Music.<ref name="Playbill">Template:Cite news</ref>

In 1973, at the age of 13, Brightman made her theatrical debut in the musical I and Albert at the Piccadilly Theatre, London, playing one of Queen Victoria's daughters (Victoria). In 1976 she was recruited into Arlene Phillips' troupe Hot Gossip in 1977. The group had a disco hit in 1978 with "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper", which sold half a million and reached number six on the UK charts. She was also briefly with Pan's People after they parted with their host show Top of the Pops in 1976. Brightman, now solo, released more disco singles under her own label, Whisper Records, such as "Not Having That!" and a cover of the song "My Boyfriend's Back".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 1979, Brightman appeared on the soundtrack of the film The World Is Full of Married Men and sang the song "Madam Hyde".

Career

1981–1989: Stage career

In 1981, Brightman auditioned for the new musical Cats, by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, and was cast as Jemima. After a year in Cats, Brightman took over from Bonnie Langford as Kate in The Pirates of Penzance at the Drury Lane Theatre, London, and appeared as Tara Treetops in Masquerade, a musical based on Kit Williams's book of the same title. Beginning on December 18, 1982, she left to play the title role in Charles Strouse's children's opera, Nightingale.<ref name="ReferenceA">Template:Cite web</ref>

Enticed by a rave review, Lloyd Webber went to watch her in the show one evening and was greatly impressed by her performance. Though she had appeared in his musical Cats, Lloyd Webber had not previously singled Brightman out as a great talent. The two married in 1984, and Brightman appeared in Lloyd Webber's subsequent musicals including The Phantom of the Opera and Song and Dance, as well as the mass Requiem, which was written and composed for Lloyd Webber's father.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

In 1985, Brightman's recording of "Pie Jesu" was a strong commercial success, selling 25,000 copies<ref name="ReferenceA"/> on the first day of release and peaking at number 3, despite the lyrics being in Latin. With classical music permeating the Lloyd Webber household (Brightman was in heavy operatic training at the time), Lloyd Webber was moved to write the Requiem Mass as a tribute to his father. Its Manhattan premiere, starring Plácido Domingo and Brightman, was filmed by the BBC and PBS for later broadcast. The LP eventually became UK's top selling classical album of the year and earned Brightman a Grammy nomination as Best New Classical Artist.<ref name="video">Template:Cite web</ref>

Brightman starred as Christine Daaé in Lloyd Webber's adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. The role of Christine was written specifically for her.<ref name="video"/> Lloyd Webber refused to open The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway unless Brightman played Christine.<ref name=forbes>Template:Cite web</ref> Initially, the American Actors' Equity Association balked, because of their policy that any non-American performer must be an international star.<ref name=forbes /> Lloyd Webber had to cast an American in a leading role in his next West End musical before Equity would allow Brightman to appear (a promise he kept in casting Aspects of Love).<ref name=forbes /> In the end, it was a compromise that was successful.<ref name=forbes /> Phantom received $17 million in advance sales prior to opening night on 26 January 1988.<ref>Time.

Album sales now exceed forty million worldwide—the biggest selling cast album of all time—and has gone six times platinum in the United States, twice platinum in the UK, nine times platinum in Germany, four times platinum in the Netherlands, 11 times platinum in Korea and 31 times platinum in Taiwan.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Despite the success both in London and on Broadway, Brightman received mostly negative reception from critics for her performance and was not nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Musical at the Tony Awards.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> While some reviewers praised Brightman for her singing, her acting was widely criticized.

After leaving Phantom, she performed in a tour of Lloyd Webber's music throughout England, Canada and the United States, and performed Requiem in the Soviet Union. Studio recordings from this time include the single "Anything But Lonely" from Aspects of Love and two solo albums: the 1988 album The Trees They Grow So High, a collection of folk songs accompanied by piano, and the 1989 album The Songs That Got Away, a compilation of obscure musical theatre songs from shows by such composers as Irving Berlin and Stephen Sondheim. Brightman also sang the song "Make Believe" during the credits of the children's film Granpa; Howard Blake composed the music and wrote the lyrics.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

She was a subject of the television programme This Is Your Life in 1989 when she was surprised by Michael Aspel at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire.Template:Citation needed

By 1990, Brightman and Lloyd Webber had separated.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> After their highly publicized divorce, Brightman played the lead in Lloyd Webber's Aspects in London opposite Michael Praed, before transferring to Broadway.<ref name="chin">Template:Cite web</ref> Her subsequent solo album, As I Came of Age, was an eclectic collection of folk-rock and musical theatre songs that Brightman herself chose.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

1990s: Solo career

In 1992, Brightman performed with José Carreras at the Barcelona Olympic Games singing the theme song "Amigos Para Siempre" ("Friends Forever"). Following the appearance, Brightman pursued solo recording, and inspired by the German band Enigma, she requested to work with one of its members, Frank Peterson. Their first release together was Dive (1993), a water-themed pop album that featured "Captain Nemo", a cover of a song by the Swedish electronica band Dive.<ref>Template:AllMusic</ref> The album received her first Gold award in Canada.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Brightman and Peterson's second collaboration yielded the pop rock album, Fly (1995) with the single "A Question of Honor"—a mélange of electronic, rock, classical strings and excerpts from the Alfredo Catalani opera La Wally.<ref>Template:AllMusic</ref> The song and the video were introduced at the World Boxing Championship match between Germany's Henry Maske and Graciano Rocchigiani.Template:Citation needed

In 1997, Brightman released the album Timeless/Time to Say Goodbye. It remains as Brightman's biggest-selling album. It went gold, platinum and/or multi-platinum in 21 countries, selling over 1.4 million copies in the US, and topped the Billboard Top Classical Crossover Albums chart in the US for 35 weeks.<ref name="Astana">Template:Cite web</ref> The lead single from the album, "Time to Say Goodbye", was the second song that Brightman debuted at the World Boxing Championship in Germany. This duet with tenor Andrea Bocelli became an international hit and sold more than 3 million copies in Germany.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The album eventually sold over 12 million copies worldwide.<ref name=BillboardJan2008 />

In March 1998, Brightman produced her first own PBS special, Sarah Brightman: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall.<ref name="billboard_PBS">Template:Cite magazine</ref> The same year, Brightman starred in A Gala Christmas in Vienna alongside Plácido Domingo, Helmut Lotti and Riccardo Cocciante singing traditional Christmas carols.<ref>Template:IMDb title</ref> On 7 April 1998 she was one of the guest stars in Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th birthday celebration singing Hosanna with Dennis O'Neill, the title song of The Phantom of the Opera with Antonio Banderas, "All I Ask of You" with Michael Ball and "Music of the Night", both also from Phantom of the Opera.<ref>Template:IMDb title</ref>

With the success of Timeless, Brightman released her next album, Eden in 1998. She personally selected each song and convinced the Italian composer Ennio Morricone to let her set lyrics to one of his film compositions, "Gabriel's Oboe" from the film The Mission resulting in "Nella Fantasia". The album, unlike Time to Say Goodbye, incorporated more pop music elements. Reviews were mixed – LAUNCHcast deemed Eden "deliriously sappy",<ref>Dumpert, Hazel-Dawn. "Album Review: Eden Template:Webarchive". Yahoo! Music. 6 March 2000. Retrieved 4 August 2006.</ref> while AllMusic called Eden "a winning combination".<ref>Template:AllMusic</ref> Eden reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Top Classical Crossover Albums chart and No. 65 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified Gold in the United States.

2000–2004: Further international success

In 2000, La Luna was released. For this album, Brightman chose songs drawing on pop, vintage jazz, and high opera, in homages to Dvořák, Beethoven and Billie Holiday. La Luna reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Top Internet Albums and peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming Brightman's second highest-selling album in the United States with sales of 900,000 and reaching Gold certification.<ref name="Billboard"/> It became her biggest-selling album in Asia, with a quintuple platinum certification in Taiwan.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

At her 2000 PBS La Luna concert, Brightman sang "There for Me" in a duet with an up-and-coming star, Josh Groban. At the end of 2001, Billboard magazine noted Brightman as the most important classical crossover artist from the United Kingdom.<ref name="billboard_ukartists">Template:Cite magazine</ref>

In 2001, Brightman released Classics, an anthology including highlights from three of Brightman's chart-topping releases along with seven new tracks; this was released worldwide except Europe. In the US the album peaked at No. 66 on the Billboard 200 chart and went Gold.<ref name=RIAAcert>Template:Cite certification</ref> In Canada it peaked at No. 9 and was certified Platinum; and in Japan, Classics became Brightman's most successful release at the time with 300,000 units sold and reaching Platinum status.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Her 2003 album Harem represented another departure: a Middle Eastern-themed album influenced by dance music. On Harem, Brightman collaborated with artists such as Ofra Haza and Iraqi singer Kazem al-Saher. Nigel Kennedy contributed violin tracks to the songs "Free" and "The War is Over" and Jaz Coleman contributed arrangements.<ref name="video"/>

The album peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 chart,<ref name="billboard_haremtour">Template:Cite magazine</ref> No. 1 on the Billboard Top Classical Crossover Albums chart, No. 1 on the Swedish Album Chart, and yielded a No. 1 dance/club single with the remix of the title track. Some time later, another single from the album (the ballad "Free", cowritten with Sophie B. Hawkins) became a second Top-10 hit on this chart.

The albums Eden, La Luna and Harem were accompanied by live world tours which incorporated the theatricality of her stage origins. Brightman acknowledged this in an interview, saying, "They're incredibly complicated...[but also] natural. I know what works, what doesn't work, all the old tricks".<ref>Reesman, Bryan. "Siren Soprano". Yahoo! Music. 9 April 2001. Retrieved 4 August 2006.</ref> In both 2000 and 2001, Brightman was among the top 10 most popular British performers in the US, with concert sales grossing $7.2 million from 34 shows in 2000 and over $5 million from 21 shows in 2001.<ref name="billboard_ukartists"/>

In 2004, the Harem World Tour grossed $60 million and sold 700,000 tickets,<ref name="video"/> $15 million and 225,000 sales of which came from the North American leg, although with ticket prices raised 30% from previous tours, average sales per venue were up 65%.<ref name="billboard_haremtour" /> In North America, Harem tour promoters Clear Channel Entertainment (now Live Nation) took the unusual step of advertising to theatre subscribers, in an effort to reach fans of Brightman's Broadway performances, and also sold VIP tickets, at $750 each, which included on-stage seating during the concert and a backstage pass.<ref name="billboard_haremtour" /> Tour reviews were mixed: one critic from the New York Times called the La Luna tour "not so much divine but post-human" and "unintentionally disturbing: a beautiful argument of emptiness."<ref>Powers, Ann.

Music and voice

Brightman underwent vocal training first with Elizabeth Hawes, head of the Trinity Music College in London, and later with Ellen Faull of Juilliard. She also studied with voice teacher David Romano.<ref>Alter, Gaby. "Tour Profile: Sarah Brightman" Template:Webarchive. 1 April 2004. Retrieved 22 August 2006.</ref> According to Brightman, her voice can reach an F6.<ref>Perusse, Bernard. Sarah Brightman: The original angel of music hits the high notes in "Symphony" Template:Webarchive, Times Colonist, 4 February 2008. Retrieved 4 February 2008.</ref>

David Caddick, a conductor of Phantom, has stated:

What is amazing about Sarah is that she has two voices, really. She can produce a pop, contemporary sound, but she can also blossom out into a light lyric soprano. The soprano part of her voice can go up to a F6 above her known E6. She doesn't sing it full out, but it is there. Of course, she has to dance while she is singing some of the time, so it's all the more extraordinary.<ref name="chin"/>

She sometimes uses her pop and classical voices in the same song. One example is "Anytime, Anywhere" from Eden, a song based on Albinoni's Adagio in G minor. In the song, she starts out in classical voice, switches to pop voice temporarily, and finishes with her classical voice. Another example is heard in the Lions Gate film Repo! The Genetic Opera, during the songs "Chase The Morning" and "Chromaggia" by her character, Blind Mag.

Brightman's music is generally classified as classical crossover. According to Manhattan Records GM Ian Ralfini, she is largely responsible for the popularity of the genre. In a 2000 interview with People, Brightman dismissed the classical crossover label as "horrible" but stated she understood people's need to categorise music.<ref>Charaipotra, Sona. People Weekly, 6 November 2000.</ref> Her personal influences include 1960s and 1970s musicians and artists such as David Bowie and Pink Floyd,<ref name="video"/> and she incorporates aspects of genres from pop/rock to classical. Her work has also been compared to that of Madonna, Cher and Celine Dion.<ref>Selvin, Joel. Brightman Lights Up Civic, San Francisco Chronicle, 7 March 2001. Retrieved 1 September 2007.</ref> The material on her albums ranges from versions of opera arias from composers such as Puccini (on Harem, Eden, and Timeless), to pop songs by artists such as Kansas ("Dust in the Wind" on Eden), Dido ("Here with Me" on La Luna), and Procol Harum ("A Whiter Shade of Pale" on La Luna). She sings in many languages, including English, Spanish, French, Latin, Italian and Japanese.

Personal life

At age 18, in 1979, Brightman married Andrew Graham-Stewart, who at that time managed the German band Tangerine Dream.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She later met Andrew Lloyd Webber when she performed in Cats. In 1983, Brightman divorced Graham-Stewart and later that same year, Lloyd Webber divorced his first wife, Sarah Hugill, with whom he had two children.<ref name="passagen">Larsdotter, Åsa Template:Usurped</ref> Lloyd Webber and Brightman married on 22 March 1984 and their relationship quickly became the subject of intense media and tabloid scrutiny until their divorce in 1990. They are on friendly terms; in 2006, at the 20th London anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera, Lloyd Webber called Brightman a "wonderful woman" and "absolutely beloved mentor", and she performed at the 25th anniversary of the musical in 2011. He appeared as a special guest in her 1997 concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Brightman had a 10-year relationship with Frank Peterson, during which they tried and were unsuccessful in having children. In a 2006 interview with British magazine Hello!, she said motherhood would have been "lovely" but accepted that she would never have a child.<ref>Barber, Richard. Hello!. 5 December 2006.</ref>

Charity work

On 8 February 2012, Brightman accepted the UNESCO nomination to be an "Artist for Peace" Ambassador.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Additionally, she is actively engaged in Panasonic's UNESCO World Heritage Centre endeavours, and stars in their The World Heritage Special campaign.

In 2012, in conjunction with Virgin Galactic, the Brightman STEM Scholarship program (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) was launched. It will help young women in the US pursue STEM education across their four-year college careers.

On 27 June 2013, the Reignwood Group announced at the Beijing Theatre that Brightman would be a promotional ambassador for its 10 Trinity Square, a landmark in the Reignwood Group's global expansion, in London for the next four years. This is the second time for the group to cooperate with an influential artist, the first being with tenor Plácido Domingo, in 2008.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In November 2013, Brightman donated US$533,000 to those affected by Hurricane Ingrid in the Mexican state of Guerrero—the entire profit from her sold-out show in Mexico City on 13 November 2013.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 30 October 2013, Brightman announced through the media that she was honoured to be part of the Advisory Council for the Challenger Center, the non-profit science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education organisation, stating "[t]hrough my partnership with the Challenger Center, I hope to inspire in children the same wonder and excitement for space exploration that I feel myself." Challenger Center and its network of more than 40 Challenger Learning Centers engage students in hands-on experiences that strengthen knowledge in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and inspire students to pursue careers in these important fields.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In April 2014, Brightman participated as an orchestra director in Parkinson's UK Symfunny at the Royal Albert Hall 4 June, with the aim of funding research to find a cure for the disease.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
