While the setting >>is about two-thirds smaller than the full arena, the stage show was >>elaborate enough for a super-size spectacle, with costumes that >>would make adventure novelist H. Rider Haggard proud. A moon-shaped >>stage was connected to a star-shaped mini-stage in the center of >>the theater, near a runway. On the crescent stage, a curving >>staircase led up to a lone microphone stand, which protruded from >>the ground. >> >>Brightman's two-act concert featured a backing band, led by Jaz >>Coleman, best known for his role in the industrial-metal band >>Killing Joke.

A dreamy remake of >>Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" was a nice surprise, along with a few >>more Brightmanized classic-rock numbers she scattered throughout >>the show, including Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever" and Procol >>Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale." >> >>Brightman also remembered the musical that made her a household >>name, revisiting ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the >>Opera" with "Think of Me" and "Angel of Music" (though, >>surprisingly, not "Music of the Night"). >> >>"Free," "Anytime, Anywhere" (complete with the Albinoni "Adagio" >>motif) were performed with the usual Brightman flair. And the >>breathtaking "Nessun Dorma" was performed on top of the staircase, >>which had swung her over center stage. >> >>"The War Is Over," featuring Iraqi singer Kadim Al Sahir, and "The >>Journey Home" brought a poignant tone to the show, along with a >>Gothic take on "What a Wonderful World" and "Question of Honour." >> >>Brightman was more personable than in the past, and that only made >>the performance more meaningful to her audience.
