Recorded in January 2020, in Bucharest, Romania, the Circus Life show was one of a kind when Tarja performed in this very special “in the round” format. Two hours of powerful music featuring a setlist that spans Tarja’s career, including all of her greatest hits such as “I Walk Alone,” “Until My Last Breath,” and “Innocence,” as well as fan favorites like “Victim Of Ritual” and “Demons In You,” showcasing her evolution as an artist.
Featuring 16 accomplished musicians, including her brother Toni and a diverse ensemble from various stages of her career, it was an extraordinary event. All songs were provided with new arrangements just for this concert, making the show a unique experience for the long-time Tarja fan, as well as the first-time listener.
Circus Life was recorded in one take, 100% live – no re-recordings, no overdubs, no special effects.
Just pure, raw music.

Today also marks the release of the first single “Shadow Play (Live in Bucharest).”
This symphonic metal masterpiece comes to life with soaring vocals, a complex piano arrangement, and an intense stage presence that only Tarja can deliver.
