The Dreamchaser World Tour was a 2013–2014 concert tour by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman in support of her album Dreamchaser. The North American tour had been planned to begin in early 2013, but all dates were rescheduled for late 2013. The tour was supposed to be Brightman's final concert tour before her trip into space (which the Dreamchaser album is based on) but the trip was later cancelled due to personal reasons.
The 2013 North American leg of Brightman's "Dreamchaser" tour consisted of her performing 86 shows over a seven-month time span. It has been her biggest tour since the Harem World Tour in 2004, and it was also her worldwide tour with more dates in Asia and South America. Brightman also added dates in countries where she had never performed before, such as United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
In April 2014, a second leg of the North American tour was announced for the summer season; however, on 18 June 2014, Brightman cancelled the summer dates after sustaining an ankle injury. The remainder of the tour ultimately resumed in November 2014, coming to an end a month later.
Brightman anticipated that the tour would be simple; the usual orchestra that accompanied her on previous tours was reduced to four musicians (a guitarist, a pianist,a drummer and a keyboard). The number of dancers was also reduced from being a large number to only two.
The scenery of the stage consisted of a huge screen with tri-dimensional images and videos from space, light, and nature. A raising platform at center of the stage was used by Brightman on several stages of the show. She was joined by Erkan Aki, a Swiss tenor, for singing "Canto della Terra" and "The Phantom of The Opera". During the show, Brightman made ten changes of clothes.
The show lasted two hours with an interlude of twenty minutes, and the track list (plus the encore) had nineteen tracks. The track list of the tour consisted of her well-known songs plus new ones from the Dreamchaser album. As the concert was space-themed, it included various songs from the 2000 album La Luna, which also had a theme related to space.
