Sarah Brightman sarah brightman is another diva in the world music scene after the three tenors Pavarotti, carreras and Domingo. She and andrea bocelli are regarded as iconic artists who span the classical and the popular. Today, when classical music is popular in the world, sarah brightman is undoubtedly at the forefront of this trend. She once set an astonishing record of global single sales exceeding 6.5438+million, so she has countless listeners and fans all over the world. Her fans not only come from operas, stage plays and classical music, but also a large part of them are young people and enthusiasts who like pop music. She and her music have the highest exposure, broadcast rate and on-demand rate in major media.

Pop music, classical music and stage play were originally incompatible or even antagonistic music spaces, but Sarah's singing creatively combined them. She uses extremely rare artistic techniques to express the music she sings without damaging its original flavor.

As a singer, few people are as talented and unique as sarah brightman. The singing voice with personal temperament is ethereal, ethereal and pure, fresh and sweet at times, and loud and shocking at times, creating an endless illusion of space, so that her high-pitched voice that goes straight into the sky will not be harsh, but will be painted with a layer of natural color, which makes people full of confusion and imagination, just like a lonely sailor sailing at sea hearing a mermaid sing, becoming a change of direction and a goddess of bel canto. Whenever her song rings, people are always hopelessly lost in the soft voice in those bloody evenings. Just like on the way to escape from a restless heart, Sarah's singing is the best imperial garden.

What is even more amazing is that Sarah's singing can creatively combine pop music, stage play and classical music, and express her music in an extremely rare artistic way without losing its original flavor. At the Beijing concert at the end of this month, although the theme was centered on the new album Arabian Nights, her works covered her famous works for many years, including the musical Phantom of the Opera, Ai Weita's aria, the female version of the opera No One Sleeps Tonight and the popular song Farewell to Time, which still involved three major music types: pop, classical and rock.

Sarah brightman sang the theme song "Forever Friends" with carreras, one of the three tenors in the world, at the closing ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
