Sarah Brightman . Hovet February 26.February 27, 2014 at 8:08 | Permalink | Comments (0)
In September next year, Sarah Brightman into space. Specifically, to the International Space Station ; 40 mil up in the air. There, she will sing and participate in a concert down to earth via the link . It sounds like a joke but it is true.
The
British soprano , who broke through as Christine in the original
production of " Phantom of the Opera " , says either about his upcoming
space trip or on the preparatory training camp in Russia when she lands
with her touring party at Hovet . But the whole show - yes it is a show rather than a concert - still
feels located in outer space , with the protagonist himself depicted as
an extraterrestrial being more than a man of flesh and blood .
Unfortunately she breaks the illusion twice by her old fashioned servile manner greet us and introduce singer Erkan Aki . It's crazy wrong , maybe she could talk to us with distorted voice and a completely incomprehensible language .
Compared with previous touring productions is that of the more toned-down battle. No symphony orchestra, just four guys on keyboards , guitar and drums, and two dancers. The improbable creations , much more fun and glam than Lars Wallin could ever dream up , she meant by it. And enough hoisted her up and down from the stage. However, no flight cancellations over the sparsely occupied Hovet .
As long as she sticks to the musicals and the arias are all fine and dandy . The inevitable " Nessun dorma " is betagnade with bouzoki (!) And a
vocal performance by Sarah Brightman who calls both Bianca Castafiore
and "Star Wars ."
The wonderful Bianca Castafiore feeling naturally emerges also in the heartbreaking screams ending " Phantom of the Opera ." Then we should all rise up and cheer. But not so, the Swedish audience is unusually dull this Wednesday evening in the ice tray .
Less funny is it when she embarks with the more popinriktade material. But when the music is akin to pompous pophymner with thick synth
carpets have at least exploding galaxies and nebulae on the big screen
to watch.
Finally
, a gold star is awarded for " Closer" (ending last album and starts
the second act at the Royal Court ) is a recast of the end of the first
part of Mike Oldfield's masterful suite "Tubular bells " . The Vivian Stanshall featuring all the instruments. It just makes sense when the British prog rock course also had turgid draft.
