Gala - An Evening With Sarah Brightman is a 2016-2017 concert tour by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman with eight dates in Japan, three in South Korea and three in México.
The Gala Tour features a Classical Crossover repertoire. Mario Frangoulis share duets like "The Phantom of the Opera," "Canto De La Terra" and "Carpe Diem," recorded with Frangoulis on Brightman's "A Winter Symphony" album, which he also features as a bonus track on "Tales of Christmas," his first holiday album released in 2015. Joining the two singers are pianist Di Wu, counter tenor Narcis Iustin Ianău, and maestro Paul Bateman, the show is directed by Anthony Van Laast.
For Japan concerts, Brightman sang the song titled “Stand Alone,” from the drama “Saka no ue no kumo” (Clouds over the hills) composed by Joe Hisaishi and performed by the NHK Symphony Orchestra.

The concert style is very classical as Frangoulis stated "I particularly like the Gala Tour concept because it brings us both back to our roots in the theatre and classical music" Brightman said in an interview "The concert has a hollywood feel about it, I'm doing beautiful classical pieces and crossover pieces... In all it will be a very rich concert, very glamorous looking and will take us back in time".
She uses different gowns, Park Jin-han from Korea Times wrote: "As the sound of wind meets the audience and the stage gleams with an eerie red light, Sarah Brightman, one of the world's most popular English classical crossover singers, appears on stage in a glittering silver dress"
