From Press Release –
Tarja has announced the release of her new album, Circus Life, on May 16, 2025. She also announced the release of her live performance video of “Diva“. Originally featured on Tarja’s 2016 album The Shadow Self, “Diva” is a dramatic and powerful anthem that has become one of the classics played on tour.
Tarja says.
“There is a lovely memory behind ‘Diva.’ We were in Antigua and walking around the local harbor when we saw this old boat stored outside the water and that quickly inspired me to write a pirate themed song. I playfully described the last walk of the ‘Diva‘ on the ship before being pushed out by the rats on board. Any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence.”
Recorded in January 2020, in Bucharest, Romania, the Circus Life show was a one of a kind, “in the round”, performance. The show was recorded in one take and is 100% live with no re-recordings, overdubs, or special effects.
The two hour set includes her greatest hits such as “I Walk Alone,” “Until My Last Breath,” and “Innocence,” “Victim of Ritual” and “Demons In You“.
