Sarah Brightman started her career as a dancer working in the UK, however her unique voice was quickly discovered. She first gained national attention for the pop-hit “I lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper,” a funky song capitalizing on the Star War and Star Trek crazes happening a the time.

Brightman first got on stage in a production of the musical Cats, which was written by one of the most influential musical writers ever, Andrew Lloyd Webber. On the set of Cats, Brightman began dating Webber and the two eventually wed.

Brightman encouraged Webber to write more musicals, and Sarah became the inspiration for the most popular and highest-grossing musical of all time, The Phantom of the Opera. Sarah inspired the part of Christine, the female protagonists, and in fact Webber insisted she play the part when the musical first opened. The Phantom of the Opera was an immediate success and would become the most successful musical of all time.

In her one-of-a-kind career, Sarah has worked with a wide range of musical talents. She has recorded with both opera and rock stars. When she recorded "Time to Say Goodbye" with Andrea Bocelli, the song became an international sensation and became the biggest selling single in German history, selling more than 3 million copies there and more than 5 million worldwide.

Sarah has been hailed as an innovator and has been credited with pioneering the classic crossover genre. She was the first to take classical songs and put them to popular rhythms, or set lyrics to them.
