Gala - An Evening With Sarah Brightman was a 2016–17 concert tour by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman with eleven shows in Japan,[1][2] three in South Korea[3] and three in Mexico.[4]
The Gala Tour features a classical crossover repertoire. Mario Frangoulis share duets like "The Phantom of the Opera," "Canto De La Terra" and "Carpe Diem," recorded with Frangoulis on Brightman's "A Winter Symphony" album, which he also features as a bonus track on "Tales of Christmas," his first holiday album released in 2015. Joining the two singers are pianist Di Wu, counter tenor Narcis Iustin Ianău, and maestro Paul Bateman, the show is directed by Anthony Van Laast.[5]
For Japan concerts, Brightman sang the song titled "Stand Alone", from the drama Saka no ue no kumo (坂の上の雲; lit. Clouds over the hills) composed by Joe Hisaishi and performed by the NHK Symphony Orchestra.[6]
