Sarah Brightman

Laura loves Sarah Brightman.  I liked that she was a classical singer and had been married to the Cats creator, Frank Lloyd Webber.  I’d heard her Pie Jesu somewhere along the journey. I got us tickets late surprised that the best tickets were sold out and we were in the balcony, centre but still, balcony.  The advantage was that we had a really great view of the show. I was glad I’d brought the Nikon binoculars (opera glasses) because they allowed us to zone in on her face. The venue was sold out.

She was marvellous. What an incredible voice! What a great performer! Standing ovations! Such elegance.

No photos or recording was allowed. The female guitarist was entertaining in leathers as a contrast to Sarah in great gowns and tiera. The light show was spectacular. Nearly thirty people in the choir, a symphonic orchestra and a rock jazz group. That’s a wall of sound. Sarah Brightman’s voice was a symphony of it’s own.  

The Queen Elizabeth is a great venue.  We loved the evening.  

In contrast to the normal swag of t shirts and cd’s, Sarah Brightman had jewelry and a really glamorous bag which looked good on Laura.  We just needed it to carry home the CD’s. I’m looking forward to listening to her Hymn cd. So many beautiful songs.
