[[Sarah Brightman]], depending on who you ask, is best known for one of three things: playing Christine in [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'', being a classical crossover singer, or appearing in ''[[Repo!
'''The disco era.''' Yes, there was an era before ''Phantom''. In her late teens, she and the British dance troupe [[The Kenny Everett Video Show|Hot Gossip]] scored a hit with the song "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper," which is pretty much [[Exactly What It Says
'''The [[Musical Theatre]] era.''' Long story short, she met [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]] while soloing on his ''Requiem'' album, married him, and starred in a number of his musicals, most famously as Christine in ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' -- a part written specifically for her. Much tabloid attention was had.
Line 19:
* ''Symphony'': Classical crossover again.
She's also appeared in ''[[Repo!

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Sarah Brightman is the reason why Christine is brunette in the Andrew Lloyd Webber version of ''[[Phantom of the Opera]]'', not blonde as in the book.
* [[Break Up Song]]: "Free," "So Many Things"
Line 33:
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: Several.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: "Once In A Lifetime" was rewritten from its original version by Frank Peterson's old project ''Gregorian''. This was the effect.
* [[Intercourse
* [[Law of Inverse Fertility]]: While in a relationship with George Peterson, she had an ectopic pregnancy and two miscarriages. Ouch.
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: "Once in a Lifetime."
Line 41:
* [[New Sound Album]]: At least three times in her career.
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: Many of her costumes.
* [[Pimped
* [[Sampling]]: An interesting variation; a lot of her early work contains samples from songs off "Sadisfaction," an earlier Frank Peterson album. See also "Spoken Word in Music", below.
* [[Shout
* [[Soprano and Gravel]]: Most of her non-classical duets end up like this, particularly anything involving Chris Thompson.
* [[Spoken Word in Music]]: "I Loved You" samples a ''[[Ronald Reagan]] speech''.
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: A rendition of the [[Trope Namer]] ballad is on her album "The Trees They Grow So High."
* [[To the Tune Of]]: "Running" is set to Holst's "Jupiter". "Figlio Perduto" is set to Beethoven. "Schwere Traume" is set to Mahler. It's a crapshoot whether these are credited or not.
* [[Truck
* [[
