I don’t know how many people thought of Christine because of her silvery voice in the "Phantom of the Opera" record. See the play live in London. Although Sarah Brightman has no longer performed this role in recent years, this role that was tailor-made for her and became a global sensation seems to have been infused with Sarah Brightman's spirit, which others cannot. replace. Sarah Brightman's singing voice is full of personal characteristics, full of confusion and imagination. Just like a sailor sailing on the sea hearing Lorelei's singing, she has become a refuge with a sense of direction and a bel canto goddess who is convinced by the soul. Her voice quality is pure and transparent, and she is particularly pitiful when she sings otherworldly characters. We can't help but wonder about her origins and musical background.

Therefore, the impact and integration of the two music cultures laid the foundation for Sarah's future development of cross-border music. Sarah, who has been competing everywhere since she was a child, made her stage debut in the musical "Albert and Me" at the age of 13.
