The BSMG is
thrilled for our fellow fans in Europe who were in the audience for Barbra
Streisand's first ever European concert tour, which also marked her return to
London where she last performed in 1994. The initial announcement came
on April 30, 2007 (see itinerary below), and the tour concluded on July 25. Barbra
said the show would be similar to
that presented in North America last year but with some changes, particularly
additional well-known songs and the absence of Il Divo. She
added "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" and "Papa Can You Hear
Me?" and joined her Broadway male quartet for the final part of "I
Finally Found Someone." In Paris Barbra performed "The Summer
Knows" in concert for the very first time. In Dublin she performed
"I've Dreamed Of You" for first time since 2000.
