20090215: Sarah Brightman SYMPHONY concert details

For those who don't know who this diva is, please enlighten your knowledge here

Back on 28th October 2008, Sarah launched her latest Album "A WINTER SYMPHONY"

You can buy this at your favourite record store or sample it first on the iTunes Music Store.
Sarah kicked off her North American tour in Mexico last November until 21st December 2008.

After having a good Xmas rest after her 32 nights of concerts, she will be kicking off her Asian tour in Japan, come forth 23rd February 2009, and ending in Taiwan on 05th April, after performing in Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, China and Hong Kong.
Looks like the Singaporeans fans should be heading up here for the ONE NIGHT affair!
Strangely enough, the ticket prices in HK are cheaper than ours (ranging from about RM 250 to 700 as compare to ours which tops out at a staggering RM1203!) Even in Japan, rates range from 10 to 15k Yen (RM 392 to 587) and in Korea 77 to 220k won (RM 198 to 564)
Does this mean our economy is more ROBUST than Hong Kong, Japan and Korea, even though they earn MORE than us?

More info has been revealed today, upon an email prompt in my GMAIL account this morning.

If you didn't get retrenched and still have wads of moolah swirling in your account, and aim to spur our ailing Malaysian economy, do head over here to splurge more cash for the BACKSTAGE meeting! Get at least US$400 ready! (About RM 1,400 at current rates!)

After managing to secure the discounted tickets via VISA Platinum last week, everyone is waiting for her performance with unabated breath! The Axcess phone hotline was TOTALLY useless. Had to leg it to Mid Valley Rock Corner to sort out the tickets! I hope that Sarah's concert won't be postponed like Rihanna's or cancelled like Peter Cetera!

I doubt PAS would retort on the skimpy outfits of our 49 year old starlet (or would they?)

The costumes during her HAREM (which meant HARAM in Arabic) tour 5 years back would have made many "Nik Aziz's" have many sleepless nights, even though Harems evolved from the Arab folks! (There's no internet during those days in the cold dsesert nights, so what else would one do to pass the time, apart from gazing at stars and keep the camel herds at bay?)

Nevertheless, here's waiting for 07 March 2009 to arrive! And to savour the holographic stage effects in KLCC Plenary Hall which I assisted to build back in 2004 during my Sunway stint!

Somehow, organisers during the Canadian tour weren't too fussy about photography as can been seen here. I'm uncertain if our ocal organisers will share similar sentiments.

If are keen to check out what her previous concerts were like, get a copy of her Las Vegas Harem Tour 2004 DVD.
Info here, here and here with photos from the Amsterdam concert.

I didn't know about this concert till today after hearing that on the radio. It's not advertised as well as the other more mainstream concerts e.g. Jason Mraz and Rihanna.

I hope it's not too late to get the tix! :-D
