LINER NOTES
Tarja's Circus Life captures a unique concert in Bucharest, Romania, in January 2020, staged in the round: two hours drawn from across her career, played by 16 musicians including her brother Toni in arrangements made for that night, and recorded in a single take with no re-recording or overdubs, according to earMUSIC. The show first appeared as bonus material in the limited Mediabook and box set of 2022's Best Of: Living The Dream, and earMUSIC released it as an album in its own right on 16 May 2025. Ward Records' Japanese edition, out on 24 December 2025, comes as a four-disc set (GQCS-91710) that adds the 2024 live album Rocking Heels: Live at Hellfest, recorded at the French festival in 2016 and featuring a Nightwish medley and Muse's "Supremacy", to the 2CD and Blu-ray package, and as a standalone Blu-ray (GQXS-90518). Tarja co-founded Nightwish in 1996 and sang with the band until 2005, and all 18 songs from the Bucharest set have official videos.
