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. Brightman’s 2019 tour will consist of 125 shows across five continents, but only three will be in Canada in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Itinerary Sunday, March 17: Meals: L history and humour.
