La Luna (The Moon, in Italian) is an album recorded by English soprano Sarah Brightman in 2000. It was released under license by Nemo Studios to Angel Records. The album combines pieces written by classical and modern composers. The classical pieces are "How Fair This Place" ("Здесь хорошо") by Rachmaninov, "Figlio Perduto", which based on Symphony No. 7 (Beethoven), Solo con te (Handel), aria "La Luna" from opera Rusalka. With La Luna, Brightman combined elements of her traditional operatic background with her newer style of pop music.
