To have Tarja and Marko singing together once again is truly a great moment!

[TheMonrose]

I literally traveled for two days to see this and made it to the front row with my friend. It was an out of this world experience

[Annmaranth]

I totally broke when Marko said “sing once again with me our strange duet”. 😭🖤🖤🖤 I LOVE them both, hopefully it’s not the last time they sing this together!!!

Tarja's face when Marko says "Sing once again with me our strange duet"
Pure joy and fun in there.

Marko was about to cry after everything that happened. Singing again, both together on stage. This performance is more emotional than what people can think. I'm so happy to have watched this video.

[DoriGoicochea]

I pretty sure your screams represent all of us emotion, after 18 years listen to Tarja and Marko singing together is a dream come true ❤

[vernonbrazle]

Good to see Marko looking happy and smiling again!

[Marli]

The way Marko has tears in his eyes at the end. 🥺This must have been so emotional for both of them. Their Phantom of the Opera is iconic and still 18 years later it still hits like a wrecking ball! I cried pretty much during the whole performance! I love that there is no bad blood between them. They both are amazing! ❤

[Steve_P_B]

After all the heartbreak that happened when Nightwish and Tarja parted ways, it's so good to see that the love between Tarja and Marko is still there

[zubinmetalfan]

This is a real live performance. No sound editing, no backing tracks, no post production fixes. And it's awesome. I was waiting for this to happen for years. Great seeing them together

[bambesfresser]

Tarja looks gorgeous. I dare say better than when she was younger. I also like her current style of singing better than in the past.

[nicollroberts]

Saw some comments that they don't sound as good here. This is 18 years after End of an Era, their voices have naturally changed. Also this has not been mixed in any way. Although they've performed together for Raskasta Joulua, this must hit differently, there must be a lot of emotions around this one. But whatever, it's live, it's raw, it's Tarja and Marko back on a stage together. Therefore, in just my humble opinion, it's awesome !!

@TankTheTech, hope you take a look at this one

[KelWolfenstein]

Crying tears of joy. Glad to see them preforming this together after so long.

[veselindimov]

After 18 years they have still preserved their voices strong enough to sing this masterpiece! Just fabulous! Tarja and Marco are the most beautiful "strange duet" ever!

[benjaminA.stantonpun]

Oh Marko! Dearest Tarja! Words cannot express how much we have missed you two. Welcome back‼️ 🤘🔥👍

[santateo]

O grito "AI MEU DEUS É AGORA PUTA QUE PARIU" define tudo o que eu senti com a maior exatidão já vista, apenas 😂❤

[Netjak]

Nightwish will never be the same, different and beautiful in it's own new way( I love Floor and their albums without Tarja). But both of these beautiful people truely made those early Nightwish years special. That original lineup was just pure magic.

[emiliabrancaglioni]

Como dito no áudio do vídeo " eu não estou preparado pra isso", é tanta maravilha ouvir a Tarja e o Marko, que ninguém está preparado para tanta maravilha. Beijos

[tzvikrasner]

No better way for them to come back onto the stage together. The lyrics feel like two old friends reuniting after decades because that's exactly what this is.

[Aksusa]

It's definitely nice to see then smiling and being happy while performing especially if you know the story behind the end of an era version.
