After a 30-plus year run on Broadway, the curtain came down on Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” last April.

Webber’s ex-wife Sarah Brightman—who he’s still on good terms with—originated the role of Christine Daaé, and with a three-octave range, endless accolades, and over 30 million units sold, she remains the world’s best-selling soprano. Brightman’s “A Christmas Symphony” tour—which she brought to the same room in 2021—promises to have a choir, orchestra, and special guests in tow, so don’t be shocked if local singing legend Lisa Vroman—who also played Christine Daaé on Broadway for a time—shows up.

Tickets to see Sarah Brightman play Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall on Tuesday, Dec. 12 are still available and start at $53.75.
