The Finnish metal diva Tarja Turunen released her live concert “Circus Life”, recorded in January 2020 in Bucharest. It is a two-hour-long concert, recorded without any corrections and improvements of the sound, without any special effects. Tarja performed this concert in a very special “in the round” format with sixteen other musicians, including her brother Toni Turunen. The setlist spans all of her career – she sang hits such as “I Walk Alone”, “Until My Last Breath”, “Innocence”, “Victim Of Ritual”, and “Demons In You” that show her evolution as an artist.

Tarja said: “There are many things I will always remember from the recording of ‘Circus Life’, but the whole concept of togetherness in that round circle is something that I will never forget. It was different to have that type of stage; I could chill, walk around, sing and rock out with everyone, and it was so wonderful to have that access to everyone and everything. This show is already a treasured memory, and for now, I will happily settle for the thought that hopefully we will do it all over again… one day… somehow.”
