# The Symphony World Tour

The Symphony World Tour was the fourth worldwide concert tour by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman. The tour started on 4 November 2008 in the city of Monterrey and concluded on 5 April 2009 in Taipei. There were special guests that joined Brightman during select tour dates: Argentinean's Fernando Lima, Italy's Alessandro Safina, and Greece's Mario Frangoulis. The tour concept was a journey through the musical career that Sarah Brightman has had so far (three 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.
