Sarah Brightman: A Christmas Symphony (2022) (Blu-ray)

Sarah Brightman: A Christmas Symphony

In celebration of the holidays, the world's biggest selling soprano and legendary GRAMMY Award nominated artist Sarah Brightman performs her first ever Christmas special, Sarah Brightman: A Christmas Symphony, from the historic Christ Church Spitalfields in London.

Just as warming to the season as hot chocolate, Christmas cookies and cozy blankets by a crackling fire, the show sees Sarah breathe new life into a bevy of holiday classics and beautiful festive fan favorites for the season. She handpicked the set by exploring various eras of the Christmas canon and performs “Silent Night,” “I Believe In Father Christmas,” “Ave Maria,” “Colder Than Winter,” “Amazing Grace,” “Happy Xmas (War Is Over) )” and many more. However, it wouldn't be the holidays without friends; together with orchestra, a chorister from Trinity College, Sarah invited special guests Aled Jones (the voice of “The Snowman”) and choir Gregorian to join her.

Sarah also reunited with very special guest Andrew Lloyd Webber for a performance of “Christmas Dream”, a song written by Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. This holiday classic features a beautiful new arrangement and is certainly memorable. Transforming the iconic and historical setting, Sarah welcomes viewers into her intimate winter wonderland, Sarah Brightman: A Christmas Symphony.
