---------------------------------------------------------------------

Zitat
After Tarja's first live album, Act I, was an acclaimed worldwide success and ensured high chart positions in 2012, the eagerly awaited live show Act II by the Finnish exceptional artist follows.
Recorded as part of their world tour The Shadow Shows, featuring influential heavy rock singers circling the world 7 ½ times over 300,000 miles and playing over 200 shows in 40 countries and in front of a million people, Act II is more than just a live record.
In addition to a very intimate 75-minute set of the singer, which was filmed and recorded live in the Metropolis Studio in London, UK, fans can enjoy a breathtaking live performance from Milan, Italy as well as previously unpublished interviews and photo galleries.
The theatrical rock adventure Act II combines two incredible but still different live performances on video:
The first chapter, Metropolis Alive, was released two months before the release of Tarja's worldwide hit The Shadow Self (2016). Twenty winners from all over Europe were lucky enough to experience Tarja's intimate, yet rocking, 75-minute showcase at the prestigious Metropolis Studios in London, where the most successful Finnish singer presented her new songs for the first time.
The second chapter of Act II was recorded in Milan on 29 November 2016 magnificent Teatro della Luna Allago and numerous hits from all four Tarja albums, including Innocence, The Alive, Until My Last Breath as well as the great muse cover includes Supremacy , In addition, two special medleys are on the track list: With the first medley Tarja enchanted her longtime fans thanks to the unmistakable Nightwish evergreens Ever Dream, Slaying The Dreamer and The Riddler. In another potpourri, the charismatic soprano with her experienced live band plays her own songs in a reduced acoustic garb.
Although the shows are deliberately different in appearance, sound, music and adrenaline levels, they both have one thing in common: from the first to the last piece, you can feel Tarja's energetic performance and her graceful, charming presence.
Act I, Tarja's first live release, reached the top 10 in Europe and shone with a sensational # 5 ranking in the German album charts. In her home country of Finland Tarja occupied in the video charts over two months the top.
