Her voice is loud and clear, and she is known as the voice of nature. Her famous songs include Goodbye and Phantom of the Opera (this is the theme song of Phantom of the Opera, and Sarah has sung with Michael Patrick and Steve Harry in different versions).

[Edit this paragraph] Music career
Sarah brightman had an unusual musical career. She was born in England. She has a clear goal since she was a child, that is to become an artist. She began to learn ballet at the age of 3 and performed at local festivals. At the age of 1 1, Bleiman entered an art school to study jazz and perform. During this period, she played truant because she was laughed at by other students, but she finally returned to school.
However, by that time, everyone, including herself, firmly believed that she would become a professional dancer. Paula's mother still remembers that when 12 years old, Sarah sang a song "Alice in Wonderland" at the school's final performance. I never knew that she could sing so well. When she sang the high notes, everyone fell for it. I believe that from that moment on, she was inseparable from singing. "Just one year later, the school sent little Sarah to participate in the casting of the famous director john schlesinger's new musical" Albert and I "and won two roles. This small success not only enabled Sarah to enter the stage of Piccadilly Theatre for the first time at the age of 13, but also inspired her lifelong desire for stage art.
Later, she was interviewed by the Royal Ballet Academy in London, but she was eliminated. 1976, when Bleiman 16 years old, he joined the famous BBC program Pan People as one of the dancers. A year later, she left and joined another organization, Hot Gossip. /kloc-When she was 0/8 years old, she had her first best-selling single "I gave my heart to a starboard cavalry", which sold more than 500,000, ranking sixth in the UK singles list. Later, Bleiman, as the lead singer of Hot Gossip, published several singles, but none of them made the British singles list.
1981-1989: the stage play period.
198 1, Bleiman was interviewed for the musical "Cat" at that time, but he was interrupted just after singing two sentences. She was told that Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer of the play, invited her home for an interview the next day. Bleiman, 2 1 year-old, naturally knows the importance of this meeting to herself. In order to show that she meets the requirement of "being different" in the recruitment requirements of the crew, she dressed herself in green from top to bottom, got a blue Mohi dry head, and then appeared in front of Weber and sang Weber's work "Argentina Don't cry for me" at 1976. A few months later, she got the role of Jemima.
After spending a year in Cats, Bleiman turned to play the leading role in the children's play The Nightingale by Charles Strauss. One night, Weber decided to watch her well-received performance in the play, and the result was a big surprise: such a good voice of nature made her stay in her own crew for a year in vain!
This night changed the career and life of Weber and Bleiman in the future. Since then, their working relationship has changed. However, although they are lovers, the first thing they have to solve is their own marriage-Weber has a wife; However, Bleiman's husband is a rock band manager, and she met him in hot gossip. For a time, their relationship almost became the news that British newspapers talked about, and the attention was second only to the marriage of Prince Charles and Miss Diana. Amid the national uproar, the couple finally got married on 1984, which made Bleiman's singing career step by step to the top. Since then, Bleiman has appeared in many of Weber's musicals, including Song and Dance and Requiem, which Weber wrote specially for his voice. Bleiman won the Grammy nomination for the first time for this work.
Bleiman then played Christine in Weber's Phantom of the Opera, a role that Weber tailored for her and insisted on being played by Bleiman. Later, the play landed on Broadway in the United States, and the United States demanded the replacement of Bleiman on the grounds of popularity. Weber even threatened to stop performing the play so that Bleiman could continue. Finally, the two sides reached a compromise.
After leaving Phantom of the Opera, Bleiman took part in the tour of Weber's works in Britain, Canada and the United States, and performed Requiem in the Soviet Union. At the same time, she also published studio albums, including the single Except Loneliness by Weber's music All Aspects of Love and two solo albums: The Tree They Grow So Tall by 1988 and The Song of Escape by 1989.
1990, Bleiman divorced Weber. However, after the divorce, Bleiman still plays the leading role in the London Cass in Weber's musical Love View.
1990s: the period of personal music style.
After leaving the music stage, Bleiman began his personal career pursuit in LA. 1992, she and carreras sang the theme song "Friends for Life" of the Barcelona Olympic Games, which was also composed by Weber.
After listening to the album of German group Enigma, Bleiman hopes to cooperate with it. Her request was answered positively in 199 1. She came to Germany and met the producer Frank Peterson. Their first album was "Diving", a popular album with the theme of "water". Apart from its success in Canada, the response of this album was mediocre.
1995' s rock album "Fly" is their second album, in which the title song "A Question of Honor" has improved Bleiman's popularity in Europe. Time to Say Goodbye is a song written for the farewell match of boxing star Musk, sung by Bleiman and tenor andrea bocelli. This song has sold more than 3 million in Germany alone, becoming the best-selling single in German history, and has been successful in many countries. So when 1996 reprinted Fly, it was time to say goodbye as the first track.
The album Eternity published by 1997 (American version is Time to Say Goodbye) contains classical songs such as Time to Say Goodbye, and covers classic songs such as Who wants to live forever and Tuquiers Volver. With this album, Bleiman's popularity in the United States has gradually increased.
From 65438 to 0997, Bleiman held a solo concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The guests included Andrew Lloyd Webber and andrea bocelli.
2000-2003: Success in the field of mainstream music
Later albums, including Eden and La Luna, are obviously different from Time to Say Goodbye and incorporate more and more popular elements. Among them, Eden ranked 65th in the American Billboard 200 list, and Luna ranked 17. In addition, both albums topped the Billboard cross-border list.
200 1, Bleiman published the classic album Classic.
Her album Harem, published in 2003, opened up a new music field: Middle Eastern music with dance style. This album ranked 29th on the Billboard 200 list and first on the cross-border list.
While releasing the album, Bleiman also launched a global tour. Her concert amazed the audience with its stunning stage effect. In 2000 and 200 1 year, Bleiman was one of the most influential British musicians in the United States. The album "La Luna" toured the United States at the box office12.2 million dollars.
In 2004, Harem concert, its global box office reached 60 million US dollars, including North America150,000 US dollars.
2006-present
In 2006, Bleiman published her first MV collection "Tianhou: Video Collection". At the same time, a collection of her best-selling singles, Diva: The Singles Collection, also appeared together, once again topping the US Billboard cross-border list.
In July, 2007, Bleiman participated in the concert commemorating the anniversary of Princess Diana's death 10. In the same month, she came to China to attend the Live Earth concert. At the end of the month, Bleiman sang "Running" at the opening ceremony of the World Athletics Championships held in Osaka.
At the beginning of 2008, Bleiman released her first album in five years-Symphony with Gothic Style, which also created the highest ranking of Bleiman's released album on the Billboard 200 list-13, and her tour of the same name began in the autumn of 2008. She is still filming the movie "Buy Back! Gene opera plays the role of blind Mag.
On August 8, 2008, at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, Bleiman and China singer Liu Huan sang the theme song "You and Me" in both Chinese and English. She became the first singer to sing the theme song of two Olympic Games. 165438+1On October 4th, Bleiman released her first Christmas album, A Winter Symphony.
