Sarah Brightman Reviews

Roger Kliemisch from New York, New York

ALMOST TOO DAZZLING!

Incredible artist and phenomenal voice. Have never heard one better. The only criticism was the light show....the light behind her was blinding to many in the audience. People in front of us and behind us complained to the technicians during the intermission and the background light was dimmed during the second half.....Had spots in front of my eyes during the intermission as did others. It is a shame that the choreographers tried to ruin was an absolutely fantastic performance.

TOO MANY LIGHTS

The background lighting was definitely excessive, and she did seem to be screaming at times, but I felt as though I had my money's worth. We all have to start somewhere, and I think she was very generous bringing her guest."tenor" who certainly did not appeal, Maybe I go to the Opera too often. Surprised she did Jerusalem with different lyrics, and one of Vivaldi's seasons, I think, but they were both enjoyable. Terry Peters

JUST SING

One of the most extraordinary voices in the world! The accompanying light show and excessively loud music for too many of the songs was a needless distraction and brought my overall score down to a four.

SARAH IN SEATTLE 2019

My wife has been wanting to see Sarah Brightman for more years than I remember. We were able to see her perform last night in Seattle, WA. Me, not as familiar with her music, came along to experience the joy of my wife seeing her favorite performer. The show...was entertaining. We saw Andrea Bocelli twice in Seattle and loved his show so we looked forward to Sarah. Her voice is amazing and her range is incredible. The draw back is that her orchestra is a tad too loud and drowns out a gifted performer. The light show is spectacular except the bright spot lights located behind the choir; way too bright and blinding. The last issue was with Keith Moon-esk drummer. The constant twirling of the sticks as if playing for Metallica is way overdone and at times had the feeling he was trying to capture the spotlight away from Sarah. Overall my wife and I truly enjoyed the show.

BLINDING LIGHT SHOW

Sarah brightman is an excellent tremendous singer but she sang her most popular songs only toward the end of her show and only a few songs. The most annoying part of the show is the blinding light that is directed to the audience for most of the show making you feel like you're looking at bright light headlights throughout the whole show. terrible show format. It could have been a much more enjoyable show if structured correctly.

LIGHTS

Do the folks putting on these shows read these reviews?? Serval revlewers stated that the lighting was bad if not terrible. The strobe light behind Sarah blind us...and it just did not go away. Still have spots before our eyes..

SARAH BRIGHTMAN AT RICHMOND

My wife loved the entire performance. I thought that it was over amplified than needed to be. If you have only 8 chorus singers then you have only 8 chorus singers. Do not amplify to sound as though you have 100. As well. the orchestra overplayed her voice often. Which is difficult to do. Not sure why the boy with a moptop and brown shoes was there....his voice was drowned out as well. Nice to hear ELPs Father Christmas played.
