Sarah Brightman Begins Training For Space Tourism Experience

British Soprano Had Briefly Postponed The Training Due To A Family Illness

British soprano Sarah Brightman, best known for her role in "The Phantom of the Opera", has begun training for her 10-day $52 million trip to the International Space Station.

NBC News reports that the 54-year-old singer on Monday embarked on a months-long preparation regimen at Russia's Star City Cosmonaut Center. The training was delayed for a week. Russian space official Alexey Krasnov told the Itar-Tass news service the Brightman had delayed the start of training in order to visit her ailing mother in Britain.

According to the a release from the training center's press service, Brightman will "sing on board the station to the accompaniment of an orchestra on Earth" while she orbits the planet.

Brightman is scheduled to fly to the station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft in October. Joining her will be Russian cosmonaut Sergei Volkov and Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen.
