Sarah Brightman concert chronology

The Harem World Tour was the third worldwide concert tour by English soprano singer Sarah Brightman following the release of the Harem album (2003). The tour began on 10 January 2004 in Mexico City and concluded on 23 December that year in Tokyo, Japan. The Harem tour became Brightman's highest-grossing tour, collecting $60 million in revenue and sold 800,000 tickets, $15 million and 225,000 sales of which came from the North American leg. The tour brought Brightman to perform in 4 continents, 28 countries in 119 venues.[1]

Background

In May 2003 Sarah released her Middle East-oriented album Harem. To promote it together with audiovisual project "Harem – A Desert Fantasy" Brightman in collaboration with Clear Channel Entertainment decided to create a new tour, that will be different from the previous La Luna World Tour. Promoters wanted to turn show from theater audiences to a more arena-like. Promotion for the tour included many billboards and ads in theaters and corresponding media because some of Sarah's fans "haven't experienced arena shows very well". The European leg of the tour was initially planned for April and May but was postponed to the autumn of the same year due to logistical difficulties.
