Tarja In Argentina, A Gothic Metal night to remember!

September 23, 2023 Sunray Magazine

Last Saturday, September 16, marching to the Teatro Flores, to see one of the brightest voices in symphonic rock and metal, the soprano, composer, singer-songwriter, and co-founder of “Nightwish” The Queen Tarja! She returned to Argentina with “Living the Dream – The Hits Tour”

The crowd awaited her with bated breath for her appearance, We were so expectant to see her in concert again! When the Finnish Soprano took the stage the audience exploded!!!! Looking gorgeous with an incredible Gothic metal outfit!

The concert started with the beautiful song “Eye of the Storm”(song of her current álbum released in 2022), a lovely moment of the night was when Tarja (solo on piano) played “Oasis”, You and I.

The epic moment was when Tarja wore an Argentina shirt, showing us her love for our country! The fans screaming so happy with it! ( Let’s remember that she is married to an Argentine boy)

Going through their current and old tracks, Tarja Turunen had once again proved to everyone why she is the reigning queen of symphonic metal, and all around one of the best live vocalists in the industry. Tarja’s vocal prowess stands tall. We can’t wait to see her again!
