Review: Sarah Brightman's Dreamchaser Concert

We saw Sarah Brightman's Dreamchaser concert at SAP Center in San Jose today.

I really liked "La Luna" and "Nessun Dorma" (though Nessun Dorma is written for a tenor - not a soprano voice). I also wanted "Scarborough Fair," the "Phantom of the Opera," and "Time to Say Goodbye."

The guest tenor - Erkan Aki - had a voice and was the show's highlight. There were a lot of special effects in the show, and all the images were related to space, though many songs have nothing to do with space.

Overall, I liked the show, being a big fan of Sarah Brightman, but it did not move me as much as Leonard Cohen's show last year.











The setlist for today's performance was as follows:

  • Act 1:
  1. Angel
  2. One Day Like This
  3. Glósoli
  4. Hijo de la Luna
  5. La Luna
  6. Eperdu
  7. It's a Beautiful Day
  8. Ave Maria
  9. Canto Della Terra
  10. Nessun Dorma
Intermission
  • Act 2:
  1. Close
  2. Breathe Me
  3. Figlio Perduto
  4. Kaze no Toorimichi (not performed in China)
  5. Scarborough Fair
  6. A Song of India
  7. The Phantom of the Opera
  8. Time to Say Goodbye
Encore
  1. Venus and Mars
  2. A Question of Honour
