If you know nothing about Sarah Brightman, here is a little bit about her:

She has had a very wide-ranging career in the last 20 years. She started out
with a disco group called 'Hot Gossip' in the late Seventies. They had a
hit with 'I lost my heart to a Starship Trooper', which was recently re-
released as the soundtrack to the film 'Starship Troopers'.

In the Eighties she became involved with musicals, in particular those of
Andrew Lloyd-Webber. After a small part in 'Cats' she became very close to
ALW and went on to star in 'Requiem', 'Song and Dance', and then her finest
hour, playing Christine in 'The Phantom of the Opera', a part which ALW wrote
especially for her. She also starred in 'Aspects of Love' on Broadway.

Sarah was Mrs. Lloyd-Webber for seven years. Despite parting they are still
very close. During the early Nineties Sarah took on a new angle with a German
producer called Frank Peterson, who she now lives with. With Frank she made
some 'pop' albums, although they were not hugely successful. Recently Sarah
hit the big time again by changing to a more operatic style. The duet
'Time to say Goodbye', sung with Andrea Bocelli, is the biggest selling single
of all time in Germany and was also a huge hit in the UK.

1998 saw the release of the very successful album 'Eden', which mixed classical
pieces with more contempary styles, and which was followed by a sell-out tour
called 'One Night in Eden'. This was followed in early 2000 by the album 'La Luna',
which continued the classical crossover style of Eden.
