Movie Reviews of Sarah Brightman - La Luna (Live in Concert)
Movie Review: This production did not do her justice...
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I have great respects to Sarah Brightman. She is a great singer with wonderful voice, needless to mention her dedication to music.
I received this DVD many years ago as a gift and never watched it until just now and I do have a CD. Watching the DVD was just out of curiosity, but I was horrified by the production of this concert from the start.
For heaven's sake, she is not Madonna, they are in totally different class, different league of "music". Who was in charge the dress design and outfit her with those horrible stage outfit ? Not only they are awful but also inappropriate for young viewers. Come on, see through ? short short ? And I can't believe she went along and let them package her like that...There are other ways to show off good figure, ask anybody.
Steel wire ? Aerial Straps ? Last time I check, this is the concert of Sarah Brightman, not Cirque du Soleil show, why are they making all those crazy tricks to distract audience from her real talent ? This puzzles me big time..
For the music, get the CD and you will be in peace and happy, this DVD ? did not do her justice....Not saying you shouldn't get it, but watch it when there is no child around, the outfit just horrible, and close your eyes, just enjoy the music will do as well.

Superstar crossover vocalist Sarah Brightman greets the new millennium with a bold sense of her unique musical niche in this live concert, La Luna. Drawing heavily from her same-titled CD, the material touches on images of the moon that reinforce its ambiguity as a force known to draw together "the lunatic, the lover, and the poet" (Brightman's revealing woodsy outfits and tinsel crown do seem to suggest a sort of Titania-like figure out of a New Age Midsummer Night's Dream). And it's a stylistic as well as thematic voyage, coursing from contemporary synth pop through gorgeously sinuous melodies of classical composers (one song, "Figlio Perduto," even adapts the slow movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony) as well as selections from her earlier albums: "There for Me" (a duet with Josh Groban), Puccini's "Nessun Dorma," "Time to Say Goodbye" (performed without Andrea Bocelli), and ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" and "Music of the Night." Limiting stage action to arm gestures, some dancers, and a couple of flying maneuvers (most notably amid a shower of sparks in "A Question of Honour"), executive producer Frank Peterson (who produced the CD) and stage director Bruce Gowers swath Brightman's shiny small voice in luxuriant fabrics of sound. Detractors will lament the resulting sameness of tone--no matter what the style involved--but Brightman's focus on spinning an ethereal spell is never eclipsed. -- Thomas May
