On July 8th, former Nightwish members Tarja Turunen (vocals) and Marko Hietala (bass, vocals) performed  Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom Of The Opera" together at Z7 Summer Nights in Pratteln, Switzerland. The pair performed individual shows on the night, with their duet taking place during Tarja's set.

They performed the song together again on August 3rd in Savonlinna, Finland at the Olavinlinna 15th-century castle. Finland's Chaosziine has shared footage of the performance. Check it out below.

Tarja's latest single, "The Unforgiven", is the last single before the release of Rocking Heels: Live At Metal Church. It kickstarts a series of official live releases that follows Tarja all over the globe, performing in unique and inspired venues. It is unforgettably Tarja at her finest and Rocking Heels is the journey her thousands of fans have waited for.

"The Unforgiven" is one of the most iconic songs in Metallica's unmatched canon of classics. Tarja, an icon in her own, delivers an undeniably classic performance of that song and perfectly conveys the theme of the struggle of the individual against the aspirations of those who want to subdue him.
