The Symphony World Tour was a concert tour by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman that started on 16 January 2008 in the city of Vienna, Austria and concluded on 5 April 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan. There were special guests that joined Brightman in the concerts: Argentinean countertenor Fernando Lima and tenors Alessandro Safina and Mario Frangoulis. The tour concept was a journey through the musical career that Sarah Brightman has had so far -3 decades- and includes several high-tech virtual scenery that takes the audience from an enchanted forest, baroque lamps to an atmosphere of fairytales. Much anticipation surrounded The Symphony World Tour especially since the production cost was reportedly more than $2 million and involved more than 100 tons of equipment.
