British singer Sarah Brightman will begin training this year for a 2015 flight to the International Space Station where she hopes to become the first professional musician to sing from space, the company arranging the trip said on Tuesday.
Brightman, a famed soprano(女高音) who starred in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, will pay about $52 million for a 10-day stay aboard the orbital
outpost, Tom Shelley, president of privately owned Space Adventures, said.
“She’s absolutely 100 percent committed,” Shelley said during a National Space Club Florida Committee meeting. “She’s putting together her mission plan now.”
Brightman, who would become the eighth privately funded space tourist, is scheduled to fly in September 2015. Her training to fly on a Russian Soyuz capsule is to begin as early as this fall.
Brightman planned to be the first professional musician to sing from space. But she faces competition from Lady Gaga, who according to media reports late last year intends to be the first when she performs one song in space in early 2015 on a Virgin Galactic flight. Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, plans to offer suborbital space flights.
Brightman said in 2012 that she would travel to the space station, but her plans were not confirmed until now. So far,Space Adventures has arranged for nine private missions to the space station, a $100 billion research laboratory that flies about 260 miles above Earth. Microsoft co-founder Charles Simonyi made two trips.
Brightman will be the first private citizen to visit the station since Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalibarte paid about $35 million for an 11-day stay in September 2009.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin has an option to fly on the next available Soyuz seat after Brightman, which most likely will be in 2017, Shelley told Reuters.
“He paid us a deposit and whenever we have a seat available, he has the right of first refusal,” Shelley said.

A. who became famous because of Phantom of the Opera B. who is sure to pay $52 million or so for her space travel
C. whose friendship with Tom Shelley contributes to space travel D. who is reported to be taking up training at present
2. When will Brightman start training for her space travel? A. This autumn. B. This winter. C. Next spring. D. Next summer. 3. What is Lady Gaga according to the passage? A. A writer. B. A poet. C. A singer. D. A painter. 4. Which words can be used to describe Charles Simonyi? A. Brave and wealthy. B. Lucky and selfish. C. Brave but dishonest. D. Confident and generous. 答案与解析
