Below, check out Sarah Brightman's music video for 'One Day Like This', from her new album 'Dreamchaser'.

After making history on both stage and screen, pioneering the classical crossover genre, selling over 30 million albums worldwide, and becoming the only artist to perform the theme song at two Olympics, it's hard to imagine that Sarah Brightman has a dream left to realize. Yet with her new albumDreamchaser, Sarah is embarking on what she calls "the greatest adventure I can imagine."

Inspired by the wonderment and beauty of space,Dreamchaser is a reflection of Brightman's lifelong dream to travel into space. SARAH BRIGHTMAN: DREAMCHASER IN CONCERT is part of special programming premiering on PBS stations beginning August 3, 2013 (check local listings).

This unique television special, developed specifically for PBS, takes as its theme the futuristic space-vision of the Dreamchaser World Tour. The concert performance was recorded at Elstree Studios just outside London in front of an invited studio audience, featuring both new songs and well-known favorites that her fans have grown to love. The studio environment, custom designed for the television taping, was transformed for all to share in the out-of-this-world live experience. The evocative lighting, elaborate costumes and powerful video imagery synchronize into a truly spectacular and highly original program.

As announced last year in Moscow, Brightman is expected to be the first musician to travel to the International Space Station, turning her dream into reality. Dreamchaser is a collaboration with veteran producer Mike Hedges, known for his iconic work with the likes of U2, The Cure, and Dido. The first single, "One Day Like This," is a unique rendition of British band Elbow's legendary song. The album also features "Closer," a breathtaking new arrangement of "Tubular Bells." Furthering the mystique of the album, Brightman delivers many other incredible songs including an astounding rendition of Sigur Ros' "Glosoli," featuring new English lyrics by Chris Difford (Squeeze).

Following the special, Brightman embarks on a 33-date US tour, including shows atNew York City's Radio City Music Hall (9/21), L.A.'s Dolby Theatre (11/1), andChicago's Akoo Theatre (9/28). "I want to make the shows as beautiful as possible with the feelings, in the visual sense, behind me," Brightman told Billboard. "I'm using a huge, round screen that almost looks like a satellite."

PBS special programming invites viewers to experience the worlds of science, history, nature and public affairs; hear diverse viewpoints; and take front-row seats to world-class drama and performances. Viewer contributions are an important source of funding, making PBS programs possible. PBS and public television stations offer all Americans from every walk of life the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds through television and online content.
