3LP - Black Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve with LP-size booklet. 

Tarja Turunen is a Finnish singer-songwriter and one of the most iconic voices in symphonic metal. She blends her classically trained soprano with metal and rock influences, creating a unique style. Since launching her solo career, Tarja has released critically acclaimed albums spanning genres from symphonic metal to classical and Christmas music. Her powerful live performances, theatrical stage presence, and global fanbase solidify her as a pioneering artist in modern music.

The “Circus Life” concert was an unforgettable live experience, recorded with 16 musicians in a unique “In the Round” format at the circus in Bucharest. Tarja was joined by talented vocalists, including her brother Toni, and a mix of musicians from various stages of her career.

The concert captured the joy and camaraderie among the performers, with Tarja opting for a minimalistic approach to her wardrobe to prioritize the music. The whole experience, marked by togetherness and spontaneity, became a cherished memory before the world shut down in 2020. The setlist spans her career, featuring greatest hits such as “I Walk Alone”, “Until My Last Breath” and “Innocence”, as well as fan favourites like “Victim Of Ritual” and “Demons In You”, showcasing her evolution as an artist.

The show was originally included as bonus content in the strictly limited and sold-out Mediabook and Box Set of Tarja’s 2022 Best Of: Living The Dream release. It is now made available as a stand-alone Blu-ray softcase, as a 2CD+Blu-ray Digipak, featuring the 2-hour live show as audio and video and a Black 3LP Gatefold, including a LP-sized booklet.
