The tour goes on

Dear friends!

Greetings from Saint Petersburg. Here the Beauty and The Beat concert was held in a really beautiful venue and was sold out.

It has been amazing to perform these cross over shows again with Mike. We have been having such a great time with the orchestras and choirs! The atmospheres in all the concerts have been very special. Thank you for all those “bravos” Saint Petersburg!

We started our journey from Bucharest where we tried to do the show some weeks ago, but unfortunately needed to postpone it due to my illness. This time I was still recovering, but we managed to do the show and saw how the place was packed with enthusiastic Romanians. This definitely was the biggest show I have ever done in Romania, so it makes me very happy. And the love was definitely in the air!

After Romania we travelled to Wroclaw, Poland. I was happy to visit this city for the first time ever. We performed with the academy orchestra and they played very well. It was fun to perform with young and talented people. We really had a great time with these lovely people and the Polish audience. I felt very welcome in Wroclaw and the concert made me realize that I have to make more shows in Poland in the future. Very nice feeling!

Poland was left behind and after another a couple of flights we arrived to Moscow, Russia.

Russians really play music with emotions, wow! The orchestra conductor is not speaking English, but we manage with German! Hehehe.

Great, great concert in Moscow and again I received hundreds of flowers from the lovely audience. Russians, you are crazy with the flowers!  🙂

Today we’ll travel to Tallinn, Estonia where we are going to play tomorrow. It is going to be my third time in Estonia, so cannot wait to see what happens.

Tomorrow, Monday 20th, we are going to disclose you the second album cover for the Special Edition of “Colours in the dark”, so come back to check it at www.tarja2013.com

    Thank you for that magical evening in Moscow. Your vocal is just outstanding) My parents came first time with me, of course, they were impressed =) Mom is singing “IWA” right now хD
    Really love your performances with orchestra… PLEASE, come to us with Christmas songs!
    There was but one unfortunate circumstance: you hadn’t time to give autographs and take pictures with your fans. And they came from other cities, too.. though you’ve been in Moscow for a long time, Marcelo cancelled the “Meet & greet” event in the last moment… seemed rather strange and not pleasant.
    I don’t know all the reasons, but please, do not forget your WS!
    Btw, we’re making a really nice present for the next tour, from all the WS club, hope you’ ll be pleased =)
    Bon voyage, mon ami 😉

    Seriously, how many languages do you speak?
    (Und verstehst du mich, wenn ich Deutsch schreibe? Das würde mich echt mal interessieren.)
    I myself manage only German, English and a quite … let´s call it interesting … mix of Italian, Spanish and Danish that is enough to understand spanishspeaking and italianspeaking people if they talk slow and to read Danish texts if they are not too complicated.
    Thank you for the beautiful pictures! Seems like a great tour. I wish I was able to see you live again… Any chance of you coming to play at the M´era Luna this year? 😀
