The theme song of the p>28 Beijing Olympic Games Singer: Sarah Bleiman Introduction: Sohu Sports News Beijing time on August 6 th This morning, the main news center of the Beijing Olympic Games held a press conference on "The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games is ready".

Sarah Brightman Sarah Bleiman is another one emerging in the world music scene after the three tenors Pavarotti, carreras and Domingo. She and Andre Bocelli are known as iconic artists who span the classical and popular. Today, when classical pop is popular in the world music scene, Sarah Bleiman is undoubtedly at the forefront of this trend. She has created an amazing record of selling more than 1 million singles worldwide, so she has countless listeners and fans all over the world. Her fans are not only from opera, stage play and classical music, but also a large number of 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 music spaces that could not be integrated or even opposed, but Sarah's singing combined them creatively. She used extremely rare artistic techniques to express the music she sang without compromising its original flavor.

As a singer, few people are as talented and unique as Sarah Bleiman. The singing with personal temperament, illusory, ethereal and pure, sometimes fresh and sweet, and sometimes loud and shocking, creates 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 colors, which will make people full of confusion and imagination, just like a lonely sailor sailing at sea hearing the mermaid sing, becoming a conversion of direction and a goddess of bel canto. Whenever her song rings, people are always hopelessly lost in that tender and beautiful voice in those dusk when the sun is setting like blood. Just like on the way to escape from a restless heart, Sarah's singing is the best imperial garden.

What's even more amazing is that Sarah's singing can creatively combine pop music, stage play and classical music, and express the music she sings 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 around the new album "Arabian Nights", her works covered her many years of famous works, including the musical "Phantom of the Opera House", the aria of Ai Weita, the female version of the opera "No One Sleeps Tonight" and the song "Farewell Time" which spread all over the world, and still involved three major music types: pop, classical and rock.

Sarah Bleiman 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.
