 The room buzzed with excitement, every eye fixed on the door. As Sarah Brightman stepped into the spotlight, the air was filled with the whirl of flashing cameras capturing the arrival of the world-renowned soprano.

Brightman appeared at the Beijing Performing Arts Centre on Sunday to present the performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard for its premiere in China.

The musical, which opened on Thursday at the Beijing Performing Arts Centre, will run until April 13. It then embarks on a national tour, with stops in Shanghai, Wuhan in Hubei province and Shenzhen in Guangdong province.

Brightman remains among the world's most prominent performers, with global sales of 35 million units, and has received more than 180 Gold and Platinum awards in over 40 countries, and garnering more than 1 billion streams worldwide.

At 65, with her soprano voice that blends classical and pop, Brightman has a broad international fan base, including in China. Her ability to seamlessly combine these two genres has made her popular in markets that appreciate both Western classical music and contemporary sounds.

One of the key events that raised her profile in China was her collaboration with singer Liu Huan at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony, where they performed You and Me.

Through her roles in Webber's musicals, such as The Phantom of the Opera and Cats, Brightman has a loyal following in China, particularly among theater enthusiasts.

"I truly feel honored to be back in China. This country has always been very special to me, and the people have always been so kind and respectful of me and my career," she says.

Sunset Boulevard is a musical that emerged from the golden age of Hollywood, and evokes cherished memories for countless film and theater lovers. The story follows the downfall of silent film star Norma Desmond, played by Brightman, who is sidelined by the rise of talkies. Desperate to make a comeback, she crosses paths with struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis, and their fateful relationship spirals to a tragic conclusion.

Written by Webber and adapted from the 1950s film of the same name directed by Billy Wilder, the classic score is the very soul of Sunset Boulevard. Webber's compositional style, which emulates the feel of old Hollywood movie scores, adds emotional depth and musical tension to the narrative. Classic songs like With One Look, The Perfect Year, and As If We Never Said Goodbye will transport audiences into Desmond's world of glory and isolation.
