Soprano Elona Krasavtseva Hosts Sarah Brightman Tribute Show

TAMPA, Fla. - EntSun -- Elona Krasavtseva will perform an extraordinary tribute to Sarah Brightman at the New Tampa Performing Arts Center. The celebrated soprano, known for her stunning vocal abilities and dynamic stage presence, will deliver a one-of-a-kind performance celebrating Brightman's contributions to the classical crossover genre.

Krasavtseva's music career began at age three, when she started learning piano. She eventually transitioned from writing original songs to studying vocal performance, merging her classical training with popular and operatic styles. Her performances blend opera, musical theater, and pop, creating a captivating fusion of genres.

For this tribute, Krasavtseva will highlight works closely associated with Sarah Brightman, including iconic pieces from Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, and beloved songs like "Time to Say Goodbye," "Dust in the Wind," and "A Whiter Shade of Pale." Krasavtseva shares, "This concert is not about imitating Sarah Brightman, but about celebrating her incredible music in our own way. We bring a unique energy to these songs, blending vocals, dance, choir, and visual effects to capture the magic of her performances."
