    Sun 21 Dec – Symphony Tour

    Last night, I went to a Sarah Brightman concert here in Phoenix, the last event of her Symphony Tour of 2008 (see the poster - right). And what a treat it was - both for the eyes and the soul. My date and I stayed on till the very last second of it - which is very untypical for me. I rarely have enough patience to spend 2.5 hours listening to just one performer.

    But Sarah is no ordinary performer. She is beautiful in every sense of the word - physically as a woman. She makes beautiful music - gifted with an amazing voice that ranges from the softest pianissimos to crescendos that can shatter a Champaign glass.

    And the choreography of the show, including some fascinating stage effects, was simply spectacular. It was a combination of computer-generated images projected on giant mirror. and music and dance by real flesh and blood artists, that transported the audience to magical places in Dreamland or Neverland. It was "Hollywood live," if you will.
