Brightman was the inspiration behind
such stage hits as Phantom of the Opera
and Requiem, written in her honor by
ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber. Born
August 14, 1960 in Berkhampstead,
England, Brightman began dancing at the
age of three, and ten years later made
her London theatrical debut in Charles
Strouse's I and Albert. By 1976, she was
a dancer on the television series Pan's
People, and later led the pop group Hot
Gossip, which in 1978 scored a U.K.
number one hit with the single "I Lost
My Heart to a Starship Trooper." In
1981, she was cast in the role of Jemima
in Lloyd Webber's Cats; there she and
the composer were introduced, and he
divorced his first wife to marry her in
1984. Their relationship lasted through
1990, during which time Brightman
created the role of Christine Daaé in
Phantom, also appearing in Requiem and
Aspects of Love; after their divorce,
she toured in The Music of Andrew Lloyd
Webber: A Concert Spectacular. In
addition to her stage work, Brightman
also recorded a number of solo albums,
including 1988's The Trees They Grow So
High, 1989's The Songs That Got Away,
1990s As I Come of Age, 1993's Dive,
1995's Fly, and 1998's Eden. The
following year saw the release of The
Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection, which
featured some of her finest moments from
Lloyd Webber cast recordings, as well as
The Songs That Got Away. Luna followed
in the spring of 2000; Encore appeared
the next year. Brightman then adopted a
Middle Eastern theme for her 2003
release, Harem. |
