Following up the worldwide success of Act I, Tarja and earMUSIC are have announced the release of the long-awaited follow up Act II this summer. It is going to be released on July 27th, 2018 as 2CD digipak, 3LP Gatefold (180g, black), DVD, Blu-ray, Limited Mediabook 2CD+2BD (including two full live shows filmed at Woodstock Festival in Poland and Hellfest in France as bonus) and digital. The first look on the release was revealed today.




Filmed during Tarja's world tour "The Shadow Shows", during which the singer circled the world for 7 ½ times with over 300.000 km travelled and played over 200 shows in 40 countries in front of 1 million people.

Act II consists of the singer's very intimate set filmed and recorded live at the Metropolis Studio in London, UK and the breathtaking live performance of one of her shows in Milan, Italy, as well as previously unreleased interviews and photo galleries.

The theatrical rock adventure Act II combines two incredible, yet slightly different live performances on video:

The first chapter, "Metropolis Alive", has been filmed two months prior to the release of Tarja's 2016 success The Shadow Self. Twenty (20) winners from all over Europe were lucky to witness Tarja's intimate 75 minute set at renowned Metropolis Studios in London, UK where the singer performed songs from her then unreleased album - for the first time in front of an audience.

Act II's second chapter has been recorded on November 29th, 2016 at the magnificent Teatro della Luna in Milan, Italy and includes hits from all four Tarja albums such as "Innocence", "Die Alive", "Until My Last Breath" as well as an cover of Muse's classic "Supremacy". That night's set list also enchants the soprano's long-time fans with a medley consisting of the distinctive Nightwish evergreens "Ever Dream", "Slaying The Dreamer" and "The Riddler". All topped off with a remarkable acoustic set which presents Tarja classics in a brand new way.
