Streamed in the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and more, the piece will be available in a variety of time zones from 20 December 2020.

Brightman will perform a plethora of festive tunes in the concert, which will also feature Phantom composer Andrew Lloyd Webber for a special performance of "Christmas Dream", a song written by Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

She will also be joined by Aled Jones and the famous chant choir Gregorian.

The stage star said today: "Christmas is my favourite time of year. This year more than ever, we all need the joy, happiness and magic this season brings. A Christmas Symphony is my way to celebrate this special time with fans and music lovers everywhere. I have many fond memories of Christmas with my family and hope this special concert brings some new ones for you to share with yours. Have a wonderful holiday!"

The concert will be in partnership with The Global FoodBanking Network, providing relief for those in need during the winter season.
