Sarah breathe new life into a bevy of holiday classics and beautiful festive fan favorites for the season. She handpicked the set by exploring various eras of the Christmas canon and will perform "Silent Night," "I Believe In Father Christmas," "Ave Maria," "La Luna," and many more. However, it wouldn't be the holidays without friends; together with orchestra, a chorister from
Trinity College,
Sarah has invited special guests
Aled Jones (the voice of "The Snowman") and choir Gregorian to join her.
Sarah will also reunite with
Andrew Lloyd Webber for a very special performance of "Christmas Dream", a song written by
Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. This holiday classic features a beautiful new arrangement and will certainly be a memorable performance.
Transforming the iconic setting, as only
Sarah can, she welcomes viewers worldwide into her intimate winter wonderland.
