The release will come in various formats: as a 2CD, a 2DVD and a Blu-Ray version.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cACT I\u201d is Tarja\u2019s first solo live audio and video product in her rock outfit. The main content was filmed and recorded on two show nights this March 2012 in Rosario, Argentina, at the Teatro El C\u00edrculo. The video products include plenty of extras \u2013 video and photo material.<\/p>\n<p>With the elaborate track listing and its extras, \u201cACT I\u201d provides the full-fledged bill of fare to either Tarja fan. The track listing consists of Tarja\u2019s greatest solo tracks, Nightwish classics as well as some cover versions, such as Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s \u201cThe Phantom Of The Opera\u201d and marvellous Gary Moore\u2019s \u201cOver The Hills and Far Away\u201d \u2013 or to make it short: a unique blend of music selection. The set up of these HD filmed concerts meant an incredible extra work and effort in the live production &#8211; with an impressive result, but also an emotional rollercoaster-ride. Says Turunen: \u201cthose two nights in Rosario were a huge emotional drive to me personally.\u201d The artist herself admits, she \u201cwas many times ready to burst into tears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cACT I\u201d, as the title already suggests, is the vanguard in a sequence of live products at a yet to be determined point of time. Fans and media can actively follow Tarja at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tarja-act1.com\">www.tarja-act1.com<\/a> on the road to release day of \u201cACT I\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While releasing \u201cACT I\u201d, Tarja is already working on her next solo studio album. \u201cACT I\u201d already features two brand new tracks by the Finnish Soprano: \u201cInto The Sun\u201d is the lead single for the live album, to be released up-front August 24th.<\/p>\n<p>On the artist Tarja:<\/p>\n<p>No other voice and artist influenced and basically created the female fronted symphonic metal genre as much as Tarja Turunen. A pioneer in Goth-and Symphonic Metal, the classically trained Finn rose to fame with the metal outfit Nightwish, whose face and voice she had been for 9 years. With a vocal range of a lyrical soprano, Turunen started her solo career in 2004. Releasing two very successful metal rock solo albums (2007 and 2010), awarded gold and platinum in multiple countries, Tarja Turunen has been constantly touring the world with her live band.<\/p>\n<p>Adored by many fans as their \u201cGoddess\u201d, the Finnish Soprano has the skill to take her fans just by her presence. Probably more than any other female artist in this very genre. When classic meets Rock and Heavy Metal, this inevitably leads to Tarja.<\/p>\n<p>TARJA \u2013 ACT 1:<\/p>\n<p>2CD <br \/>cat# 0208092ERE <br \/>EAN 4029759080923<\/p>\n<p>DVD: <br \/>cat# 0207838ERE <br \/>EAN 4029759078388<\/p>\n<p>Blu-Ray: <br \/>cat# 0208093ERE <br \/>EAN 4029759080930<\/p>\n<p>Source: earMUSIC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamburg, Germany, based label earMUSIC, the rock branch of entertainment company EDEL, is happy to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1785\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
