About opera being so inaccessible: Tarja has organized in the past a set of concerts called "Beauty and the Beat" where she performed both classical songs like this and her metal songs. These concerts were always in theatres. The whole point was to invite metalheads to the classical side of music. We need more artists like Tarja that span multiple music genres!!

Sweden had a crazy opera hype dubbed "the Malena-effect" after the opera singer Malena Ernman won Melodifestivalen with "La voix" and went on to represent us in Eurovision Song Contest in 2009. She's the reason I have a number of operas on dvd, Die Fledermaus being one of my favorites (Malena plays Orlovsky). I've been to a couple of her concerts (same concept as Tarja, classical pieces mixed with pop songs in this case), and she's so funny and laid back. There's a clip on youtube where she wears a dress that is slightly "too big" and she keeps hiking it up during her aria, finally bringing a guy from the audience on stage to hold it up for her. Judging by Tarja's shoulders in this clip I think she would have liked to do the same xD

She was the star pupil at the Sibelius Academy. She was bullied ofc. She's very humble especially with the debacle with NW. She's excelled since parting with Nightwish. I think she has hit a D7? Opera is amazing and opera is a chore. The arias are what I listen to. I had a friend who is a trained opera singer. He actually stopped the vehicle under the underpass one day with sunroof open to show off his ability to sing along with Yma Sumac😳 Johann Strauss is easy to listen to. I speak some German and her diction was virtually spot on.

You explained it effortlessly the thing I have tried to convey to all the Tarja haters saying she is a one-trick pony. I hate to say it, but too many people nowadays just see everything in Black and White = Operatic, and nothing else. They are too blind to see all the artistic effects she adds and how she uses her instrument in ways that is MORE versatile than just singing average growls or belts. I think one needs a sense of maturity and openness to appreciate Tarja's talent. Luckily, many do, seeing as she is the Nightwish member who of all has the most successful solo career (Marco, Tuomas and Floor also have solo careers).

She's really glowing when she sings this! I can see a lot of her personality here. Tarja is like this when she gets on well with an interviewer- smiling and very sweet and charming. And 100% agreed- it's not ok to put down one singer to uplift another. I see this time and again, especially with female singers, and especially with Nightwish. With the singers Nightwish has had, it's like comparing an apple, banana, and a strawberry- all a matter of opinion.

She has family and is very wealthy. The lady has it all and lots of people love to hear her sing as much as she wants to sing to us. Thats wonderful. That she is open and generous. She has teamed up for duets with Floor. Best of all her anda Marco have renewed their friendship. It goes back to being single digits in age. Thats awesome. She said it, she got her friend back this year. That is wonderful.

She is an amazing lied/chamber singer. I am happy she doesn't stick with Opera or Metal. She expands her range as she expands her vocal versatility. However, her vocals truly shine with chamber music. Her Ave Maria En Plein Air is still her best album vocal-wise, recorded live! Her Herr Marquis is surprising. The climax needed more ease and control but this is not right for her tessitura. She is a spinto leaning on the heavy side. Her legatto is exquisite, in my perspective, but she lacks the dynamic and the light timbre to make the transition to the high notes with ease but she has such a wide range that maybe she just needs more training to sing such a challenging piece like this. Regardless, this is outstanding, the way she carries her heavy voice up and down and does the staccatos with so much precision always leaves me gawking. And she is not an opera singer, she is a lied singer. One must stress that at all times, this aria is extremely challenging, I believe it to be the hardest she has sung to date. I love Tarja because she reminds me of the truly unique singers of the golden times like Obraztsova. Big dark voices full of emotion that are instantly recognizable even if not precise.

omg! this is so beautiful to hear and to see !! I love her voice and the charisma she conveys with her expressions. I always listened to a lot of rock and heavy metal but when I was a little girl I danced ballet. So when I heard the combination of Tarja's voice with metal and heard that symphonic metal, I fell in love with that style. And also listening to Tarja sing opera amazes me. She opened the opera to many people who listened to metal and made it available to many because in those concerts she sings opera and her songs from her solo career. She said that her dream is to sing in El Colón, a great theater in Argentina and recognized worldwide.

I don’t know a whole lot about classical singing, but I have learned a lot by listening to people like Tarja as well as the great opera singers in the actual opera genre. I have no problem listening to them all day every day. I think what they do is beautiful. That being said I am primarily a contemporary fan. The people who turn away from Tarja because she’s too operatic are definitely closed minded to me. But like you said, they’re not used to it. But that doesn’t give them the right to take away from her and put her down the way that I see many times happening in comment sections.

@@larryzigler6812 She is not that operatic for you and me, but she might be very operatic to almost every other listener, because her classical training breaks through. So even the songs she sings with her "contemporary voice", she sounds operatic to some. And for me, her operatic and mixed voices are the best. I didn't like that they started to went more contemporary style with each Nightwish album after Oceanborn. Or lets just say, that I would have preferred, that she would have sang them more operatic, like she did at live.

As someone that has absolutely no knowledge in music whatsoever and is a big fan of opera (a fan is an understatement:) I have to say that it is not necessary to understand the technique to enjoy the performance. Of course for reason that I don't know I like one performance better than others (probably because of those "choices" you're talking about) but still I can enjoy it very much. Is it inaccessible? hmmm... would not say so! Many places, many opera houses, you can go anytime sometimes at low prices. Is is a little bit elitist? Well yes, but it's a good thing. Not everybody can ba an opera singer, and between them there are also differences in skill and one might consider it as a supreme league. The problem is that people got so used to "shit" music that they treat opera like something strange and weird. well... their loss!

Regarding her shoulders - I had recurring shoulder pain aggravated by working out. Went to a physical therapist - discovered I'd been holding my shoulders up from their natural position - learned to bring them back down to where they're supposed to be - no longer have pain. She may just be holding her shoulders that way because she doesn't realize she's doing it and it became "natural" for her like it had for me.

OMG how had I not seen you'd done a piece on this frankly stellar performance?! Aaaagh! This is the ur-fun opera piece to bring non-opera loving people to, it's accessible, it's expressive, it really codifies and *parodifies* the whole Noblewoman's Laugh trope. It's silly, you can get what's going on just based on the vocal tone, and it all makes sense when you think of opera in terms of very, very staid archetypes -- think modern-day sitcom and reality TV tropes and character archetypes, and you're most of the way there! Opera can be accessible, but it does have a bit of a drag factor lol. So why's her character laughing? It's Strauss and opera at its keen-eyed best in this otherwise scene; the maid character has seen upper class women schmoozing upper class men for year, and knows enough to mossssstttlllyyyy make her way through it, pitch perfect; the wobble is purposeful, to show the character just bumbling along anxiously, and the whole thing is a soft-skills version of the infiltration phase of a heist movie. :D Also? This is Tarja getting to let loose, relax, and just show off her classical training in a way that seldom comes across purely in her mixed-media efforts (which is... just her whole career). I adore this record and this show because we seldom see her stick to one genre this tightly, and she really does have the voice for all of those acrobatics.

The comment about opera having become an elitist thing brings up something that I've wondered about for years. You as an opera performer might shed some light on this. Namely, who do you think is a greater fan of opera: the rich guy who buys box seats, wears expensive tuxedos, and shows up in a limo, and donates substantially to the opera company, or the blue collar worker who walks to the opera house in blue jeans and work boots, and sits (or stands when there is standing room only left)at the back. I am one of those two types of fans.

It's because you don't listen to opera. Your ear needs to be trained to hear the words. It is the same thing with metal music. If one doesn't listen to it very often, they usually have hard time to hear the lyrics, especially with harsh vocals/growling/vocal fry. Yes, Tarja is probably far from having perfect German accent, but as far as I know, she is not too bad either. Someone commented not too long ago, that it is amazing how she can be so good on German and Spanish, but she still have so strong accent when she speaks English.

I have heard that piece from different artists of different nationalities and she's doing an amazing job, even though she's not an opera singer (she said herself she'd need a lot of training to sing an opera). Edit: Tarja did a beautiful rendition of the Vilja Lied as well. And I think her German is even better and the control and space of her vocals as well.

Opera singers do exaggerate and prolong some sounds too, and hate consonants! So, if you are listening to an aria, even if in your own language, you will find it odd too. They round all the sounds to project them to the last row. Remember guys, opera used to be for everyone, an entertainment for folks to go and see and enjoy themselves. There was no TV. Also, no microphones and no amplification, all was done with the vocal tract, modern opera singers use hidden microphones to help them sound louder as they are not taught to sing with mixed voice and with core, it is all head voice, no power. I do second that if you listen to opera on a daily basis, you will understand more and more each day, but that is why there are librettos. I listen to a lot of metal and half of it is not understandable either if you do not read the lyrics, it is not just a matter of accent at all.

German is her 3rd language. Finnish of course. Finland has about 80% English fluencey. Studied German. Maybe some Italian? For the music. Definitely her husband's native spannish. 4 languges and being from rural Finland much akin to Appalachia in the US they have a thick, distinctive accent that might never go away unless you stick to the one language and practice. Now try doing that AND learning to sing it. Now try learning to sing it not for diction or conversarion or just pop musuc by rote but for accoustic and dramatic effect. Act and sing in a foreign language while reading musical notation. Now who among us can manage that feat? Lol. Which is why we will stop, listen and, maybe pay to hear HER do what we cannot. 😊❤❤

Glad to hear opera is inaccessible. I live in a town that holds annual opera festival (not last year and probably not this either for obvious reasons) and I can't imagine paying to get tortured like that myself. To be fair I have hear enjoyable opera too but it's just more fun bashing it.

I love Tarja and Anette but even though i enjoy and appreciate their talent , only Floor gives me chills . Do you know why? i asked Floor on her channel but she hasnt answered yet . Is it an accident or deliberate?

I guess if Tarja sang this in german, i dont have a native language at all. It is really quite funny to me, that i can understand them better (Tarja and Floor) singing in english than singing in german. What i consider quite boring about this piece is that it has no tention at least in my mind. What i like the most about Nightwish is that it often seems like Floor is trying to make herself heard, trying to overcome all the metal going on. There is just a different quality to it. Watching this aria is not that interesting to me. I would even go so far to say, that it is quite dull. I have heard this kind of music over and over again.
