British popera diva Sarah Brightman is bringing her acclaimed ``The Symphony World Tour'' to Korea next month.

Brightman will have a series of concerts in Seoul, Goyang and Busan, as part of the Asian leg of her world tour. She will perform from March 13 to 14 at the Gymnastics Stadium, Olympic Park, Seoul, followed by a concert March 16 at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX), Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. Her last concert will be held March 20 at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO), Busan.

Brightman will be accompanied by Italian tenor Alessandro Safina for the Korean tour. He recorded a duet with Brightman for her 2008 album ``Symphony.'' Last December, Safina performed in a series of concerts with world-famous coloratura soprano Jo Sumi in Korea.
