Les Misérables - I Dreamed a Dream was written by Claude-Michel Schönberg, composed for the original 1980 French production of the musical Les Misérables, with English lyrics later written by Herbert Kretzmer. The power ballad is sung by the character Fantine as she reflects on lost hopes and love, and it features orchestrations by John Cameron in the stage score. "I Dreamed a Dream" has become one of the best‑known songs from Les Misérables, widely recorded by major artists and brought renewed global prominence by performances such as Susan Boyle’s 2009 television audition.
