TARJA TURUNEN Posts New Blog, Video Interview From Sonisphere France Available

Tarja Turunen has posted the following blog entry:

"I had a great pleasure to do three different kinds of performances in Finland.

First I went back to my high school city Savonlinna where I also enjoy the best weather of Finland, the real summer time.

I have lots of wonderful memories from Savonlinna since I was living there for three important years in my life. That is where I started singing classical music and found my way to be an independent young woman.

This is the “Puijo” ship where I was working as a crewmember for couple of months a summer many years ago. It is still doing the same round trip through channels from Kuopio to Savonlinna and back. That was an exciting summer for me.

Olavinlinna castle had changed just a bit after my last visit there in 2006. I was so happy to be back to feel the magic of the castle."

As previously reported, Tarja has performed the song "The Good Die Young" together with Scorpions on the 22nd of July at the Finnish festival Saimaa Open Air. Klaus Meine dedicated the song to the victims of the bomb blast and massacre in Norway, which took place earlier on the same day.
