She began her career as a member of the dance troupe Hot Gossip and released several disco singles as a solo performer. In 1981, she made her London musical theatre debut in Cats and met composer Andrew Lloyd Webber whom she later married. She went on to star in several London and Broadway musicals, including The Phantom of the Opera where she was the first to play Christine Daaé. Her original album of the musical was released in CD format in 1987 and sold 40 million copies worldwide, making it the biggest-selling cast album of all-time. Brightman's 1996 duet with the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, Time to Say Goodbye, topped the charts all over Europe and became an international success, selling 12 million copies worldwide. She has now collected over 180 gold and platinum record awards in 38 countries. In 2010, she was named by Billboard the fifth most influential and best-selling classical artist of the 2000s. Brightman was the first artist to perform the theme song at the Olympic Games twice — in 1992 in Barcelona where she sang Amigos Para Siempre with the Spanish tenor José Carreras, and in 2008 in Beijing, performing You and Me with Chinese singer Liu Huan to an estimated audience of four billion.

  • Historic West Hastings Map Guide
    HISTORIC WEST HASTINGS MAP GUIDE www.vancouverheritagefoundation.org Introduction This map guide focuses on the western section of Hastings Street, west of Victory Square. Equalled in importance only by Granville Street, Hastings has been a part of every phase of Vancouver’s history. In the city’s early years, Hastings and Main was the principal cross- roads. Today, the nearby convention centre, Waterfront Station and SFU campus ensure the importance of Hastings Street’s western end. The city’s retail centre moved west along Hastings in the 1900s, gradually abandoning East Hastings between Cambie and Dunlevy to low-end shops and hotels. The coup de grâce for this eastern part was the move in 1957 by the BC Electric Company from its head office building at Carrall and Hastings to a new office building at Nelson and Burrard (now The Electra condominiums); with the closure of both the interurban railway system, which had terminated at Carrall, and the north shore ferry service that docked at the foot of Columbia, there was little pedestrian traffic to support local businesses. The prestigious residential district once known as Blueblood Alley west of Granville became commercial beginning in the 1900s; high-end residential began to return in the 2000s in very different types of buildings, reflecting the redevelopment of the Coal Harbour shore- line with highrise condominiums. A chronology of West Hastings: Before 1886: First Nations people had a village at Khwaykhway (Lumbermen’s Arch) in Stanley Park and a handful of ship-jumpers and pioneers settled in small homes along Coal Harbour. John Morton, one of the “Three Greenhorns” who pre-empted District Lot 185 (the West End), built a cabin on the bluff near the foot of Thurlow Street in 1862.
