Hymn: Sarah Brightman In Concert is the sixth worldwide concert tour, and tenth tour altogether, by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman in support of her album Hymn (2018). The tour started on 24 November 2018, in São Paulo, Brazil, and will continue until 2021. The event is expected to include 125 shows in five different continents, thus becoming Brightman's largest tour of her career.[1]

Background

On 6 August 2018, Brightman announced her return to the South American continent after five years with her promotional tour Hymn: Sarah Brightman In Concert. The concert tour included dates in Brazil,[2] Chile,[3] and Argentina[4] in the months of November and December. A second date was added in Buenos Aires due to overwhelming demand. On 13 September, it was announced that Brightman's show in Santiago would be cancelled due to programming and logistical issues.[citation needed]

On 17 September, along with the official announcement of the album Hymn, the North American leg of the tour was announced, along with extra dates in Latin America.[5] It was revealed that the tour would consist of 125 shows across five continents, thus becoming the largest tour of Brightman's career.[6]

In promotion of her world tour, Brightman partnered with Swarovski to create the elaborate costumes and tiaras for the show's wardrobe.[7]

On 21 January, Brightman announced on her official Instagram account that she would bring the tour to the United Kingdom with an official date at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 11 November, her first performance in London since the Harem World Tour in 2004.[citation needed]

Production

In an interview with Billboard, Brightman revealed that the show would be a larger production than the Dreamchaser World Tour, including a choir and live orchestra.[8]
