The centerpiece of the drive is a new concert special featuring acclaimed soprano Brightman.
Filmed over two days in September at the foot of the Bavarian Alps in Germany, Hymn — which will air at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 26 and midnight Nov. 29 — will be staged in a magical setting of mountains, lakes, castles and cuckoo clock houses.
The performance itself will be a hybrid of a musical film, an opera and a large-scale concert production. Brightman will be accompanied by her band, a 40-piece orchestra, a 50-voice choir and dancers.
The concert will feature several guest artists and musicians, including Japanese superstar Yoshiki.
