SYMPHONY – LIVE IN VIENNA: GLOBAL RELEASE DATES

We have heard your persistent calls for a global release of the Vienna concert, and are pleased to announce the release of Sarah's PBS special, Symphony – Live in Vienna, as follows:

  • Japan and South East Asia - February 18
  • China - to be confirmed
  • Rest Of World - March 10

The package features Sarah's landmark performance at Vienna's magnificent Stephansdome Cathedral on January 16th, 2008, in both audio and visual formats. The television special debuted on PBS in March 2008 during the network's spring pledge drive and aired throughout the month.

Sarah chose one of Europe's most majestic settings for this milestone concert event. Consecrated in 1147, Stephansdom Cathedral is renowned for its awe-inspiring Gothic architecture, which, along with the production's lavish light show, lends a dramatic and mystical feel to the musical proceedings, which were recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound.

"It's a very special place," Sarah says of the cathedral. "There's a dark romanticism and fairy-tale feeling within it. When you walk in, it envelops you. It's large, but at the same time you feel very at home there and quite cozy. I wanted an architectural setting that suggested faith. I think of all the cathedrals in the world, this is one of my favorites, which is why it was important to me to perform this concert there."

Backed by a live rock band and a full orchestra, Sarah delivers passionate performances of songs from her 2008 chart-topping album, Symphony, as well as such fan favorites as "Phantom of the Opera," "Time to Say Goodbye," and "Ave Maria." Sarah also welcomes several special guests for duets, including Italian tenor Alessandro Safina, Argentinean countertenor Fernando Lima, and British singer, Chris Thompson (of Mannfred Mann's Earth Band).

The package will be sold as a stand-alone CD, as well as bundled in a CD/DVD format. The latter features more than 45 minutes of bonus material, including interview commentary by Sarah, an eight-page glossy color booklet, and an exclusive bonus audio track, "Vide Cor Meum".

The track listing is as follows:

  • Pie Jesu
  • Fleurs du Mal
  • Symphony
  • Sanvean
  • Canto Della Terra (Duet with Alessandro Safina)
  • Sarai Qui (Duet with Alessandro Safina)
  • Attesa
  • I Will Be With You (Where the Lost Ones Go) (Duet with Chris Thompson)
  • Storia D'amore
  • Pasión (Duet with Fernando Lima)
  • Running
  • Let It Rain
  • The Phantom of the Opera (Duet with Chris Thompson)
  • Time to Say Goodbye
  • Ave Maria

CD Extra: "Vide Cor Meum"

DVD Extras:

  • The Production — Interview with Sarah
  • The Songs — Interview with Sarah
  • The Location — Interview with Father Anthony Faber and Historian Elisabeth Lloyd-Davis
  • Photo Gallery

Note: Dates and packaging details are subject to change. Depending on the region, there may be local nuances and variations. Please check with your local EMI/Manhattan Records offices for updated info.

For an in-depth look at the filming of the concert, we invite you to visit the SarahB.uzz feature story in the FAN AREA at www.sarah-brightman.com

In addition, purchasers of the DVD/CD can access bonus photos of this concert here.

To those FAN AREA members who had accepted our invitation to attend the concert in Vienna, thanks once again for making this concert a success! With the release of this concert globally, we are glad to finally be able to share this spectacular concert with fans worldwide.

REPO! The Genetic Opera — In the no-so-distant future, a worldwide epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GENECO, a biotech company that offers organ transplants...for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by THE REPO MAN. By fusing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this futuristic tale of horror modernizes the "rock opera" genre with original music and rich, dark production design.

This rock opera boasts an entirely original soundtrack that blends equal parts goth and punk rock to form an eerie and powerful musical narrative and features vocal performances by an all-star cast.

In addition, the movie also features instrumentals and score provided by an all-star lineup including Joan Jett (who has a cameo appearance in the film), Richard Patrick (Filter), Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Clown (Slipknot), Ray Luzier (Army of Anyone), Brian Young (David Lee Roth's band), Sonny Moore (From First to Last), Richard Fortus (Guns & Roses), David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Daniel Ash (Love & Rockets), Blasko (Ozzy Osbourne), Tommy Clefetus (Rob Zombie's band), Melora Creager (Rasputina). Also lending her voice to the soundtrack is Poe.

For further info including a full list of dates and show times, visit www.reporoadtour.com

For behind the scenes footage and more, visit the film's main page at www.repo-opera.com.


We'd like to take this opportunity to wish our Asian friends much happiness and prosperity for the upcoming Lunar New Year!

Dear Sarah Brightman Fan,

We have more news for Sarah fans around the world....


BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE: Add a Meet-n-Greet to your concert ticket!

{{Para leer en Espanol, click aquí}}

As you may know, we had originally not planned to offer VIP meet-n-greet packages for the Symphony World Tour. However, we have been receiving many emails from fans (and past Harem Platinum patrons) over the last few months, expressing disappointment that we were not offering such packages.

Many fans expressed that a concert event would be their only opportunity to meet Sarah, as Sarah would otherwise not be "in (their) town". In short, we were asked to reconsider, to find a way to offer a meet-n-greet package, even though tickets had already gone on sale.

We've taken all this feedback into consideration, and have been working behind-the-scenes these last few weeks to try to make this possible. Well... we're happy to inform you that we HAVE managed to sort out the logistical issues, and are can now unveil the SYMPHONY BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE! Best of all, we have special pricing for the Official Website's FAN AREA members!

This package is available as "ADD-ON" to your existing tickets for ALL venues in US/Canada/Mexico, except Los Angeles and Anaheim (where the previously-announced 4- and 5-STAR packages are available).

In addition to the post-show meet-n-greet with Sarah, you will also be taken on an insider's backstage tour before the concert! Visit www.sarah-brightman.com/backstage for more information.

The SYMPHONY BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE is priced at USD$495 per person to the general public. However, we've been authorized to release a limited number of specially priced packages at $395 (i.e. $100 off the public price) to FAN AREA members and past PLATINUM patrons!

If you are not yet a FAN AREA member, just visit www.sarah-brightman.com
and click "FAN AREA" to join. Membership is absolutely FREE. Then read the thread entitled "BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE" to retrieve your promo code!

Note: The number of packages available at the discounted rate is very LIMITED; this offer will be rescinded once the allocation for FAN AREA / past PLATINUM members has been filled for a particular venue. So, if you are considering this, please act quickly as we cannot guarantee continued availability!

TO PURCHASE YOUR BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE, visit:
www.sarah-brightman.com/backstagetix

For many fans, meeting Sarah represents their ultimate dream. We hope that the SYMPHONY BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE will transform an already memorable concert event into absolutely unforgettable experience!
