A sure-to-be spectacular new concert special showcasing the alluring and enchanting musical world of internationally renown recording artist and performer Sarah Brightman will be filmed in June according to a new post by Brightman's official Facebook page.

Brightman will assumedly be focusing primarily on the compositions featured on her new space-themed album experience DREAMCHASER, available now, as well as feature some of her hits from best-selling albums such as TIME TO SAY GOODBYE, SYMPHONY and HAREM in the new concert capture planned for a London gig.

Of course, no Sarah Brightman concert would be complete without a tune or two from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, the world's most successful entertainment, which was originally written expressly for the soprano - and one-time CATS featured player - by former husband Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.

In our recent InDepth InterView, Brightman and I discussed the distinct possibility of this new DREAMCHASER tour being filmed and also the idea of potentially broadcasting it to movie theaters, as well:

PC: Would you be open to a Fathom-presented in-theater DREAMCHASER concert event someday soon?

SB: Why, yes - maybe. That sounds like it could be quite exciting. Since I am not coming to the States until the end of September, there is a sort of moment to set it all up, actually. Fathom is a wonderful, wonderful thing and I know that the opera companies have had much success with broadcasting to movie theaters in addition to theatre things doing it, too, so it can be a really beautiful thing to do.

PC: What do you think of modern HD technology and the ability to record performances with such stunning audio and video quality now? Are you planning on filming and releasing a DVD for the DREAMCHASER tour eventually?

SB: To tell you the truth, I haven't thought about it yet - it is definitely something that could get done as we go along, though. The concepts and what I come up with are always a journey and they carry on and develop over a couple of years, so I tend not to do everything all at once, in a hurry - I like to see how everything is moving and how people are enjoying certain aspects. So, I sort of set things up as we go along.
