Background

edit

The idea was conceived by Turunen, who had worked with Terrana on several projects in the past, including her first live recording, Act I: Live in Rosario. On her website, she states: "Our main goal with these kinds of concerts is that younger audiences experience the beauty and power of a symphonic orchestra and choir."[1] Terrana's explanatory comment was, "It's obvious that I provide the BEAT and Tarja provides the BEAUTY."[1]
