Birth Place: Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England, UK
Sarah Brightman was born near London, England in 1960. She was a workaholic from an early age, never wasting a minute of free time. Straight from school, she went to ballet lessons. When she got home at eight o'clock, she went to bed. She got up at four in the morning to do her homework and then began the schedule all over again. When she was a teenager she decided to try her hand, or her vocals, at singing. In 1978, she released the single, "I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper" and it became an instant disco hit. In 1981, she tried out for a role in an up-and-coming musical, 'Cats'. It was there that she met her soul mate and future husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber . They were married in 1982, and she went on to star in a number of his shows, particularly 'The Phantom of the Opera', in which the role of Christine was written for her. Sarah gained recognition in the London theatre scene, but it was not the kind she wanted. People got the notion that the only push behind her success was that she was Mrs. Andrew Lloyd Webber.
A far too career-orientated Sarah decided the only way to get the recognition she deserved was to go out and gain it for herself. She divorced Lloyd Webber in 1990, but despite this, they are still the best of friends. In 1991, she met Frank Peterson. He became her producer, leading her to huge success with Albums such as Dive (1993), Fly (1995) Timeless/Time To Say Goodbye (1997), Eden (1998), and La Luna (2000). Her style and vocal ability range from upbeat pop songs to opera arias, all of which are performed beautifully. Because of Sarah's hard work and determination, her name and voice are known world wide. She is truly an artist.
