Week wrapped up
Tears on stage

Tarja Turunen sweated on the running trail and missed her loved ones who are at home.
41-year-old singer lives in Andalusia Spain with her spouse Marcelo and daughter Naomi, 6.
On the Raskasta Joulua tour until the end of the year.
Composing new music for her album, which will be released in September.

HIGHTLIGTH OF THE WEEK? I did 21 concerts within a month. Our last show was in Bulgaria’s Sofia, where I was moved to tears. When the audience screamed, I felt like I had outdone myself. Backstage I took of my wet clothes and laid on my back on a yoga mat. I did breathing exercises and went through the past weeks.

WHAT TOUCHED YOU? We had a show in Karlsruhe Germany, where I studied in 2000 to 2002. I went on walk on the university’s yard and happened to meet my former piano teacher. I was wonderful that they remembered me after all these years. We talked about how rewarding the time at university was.

WHAT DID NOT GO SMOOTHLY? I caught the flu. I was afraid what would happen to the last shows if I got really sick. Luckily, lemon- ginger-drink and English herbal tea saved the situation.

HOW DO YOU RELAX? I go on seven-kilometer runs. I have a love-hate relationship with running. It makes my thoughts move and organizes my mind. My head ticks while on the run though, but I still always think that it’s a good thing I did it. I try to run five times a week.

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? To see my family. My husband Marcelo and daughter Naomi mean everything to me. We had ten years together with my husband before Naomi was born six years ago. Those times were memorable too, but now I’ve gotten even more strength and energy from our family.

WHAT MADE YOU FEEL PROUD? My husband who is now a stay-at-home dad. That makes many things possible to me.

Viikko paketissa
Kyynelissä lavalla

Tarja Turunen hikoili lenkkipolulla ja kaipasi kotijoukkojaan.
41-VUOTIAS laulaja asuu Espanjan Andalusiassa puolisonsa Marcelon ja Naomi-tyttärensä, 6, kanssa. RASKASTA JOULUA -kiertueella vuoden loppuun saakka.
SÄVELTÄÄ musiikkia uudelle levylleen, joka ilmestyy syyskuussa.

VIIKON KOHOKOHTA? Vedin kuukauden aikana 21 konserttia. Viimeinen keikkamme oli Bulgarian Sofiassa, jossa liikutuin kyyneliin. Kun yleisö huusi, tunsin ylittäneeni itseni. Takahuoneessa riisuin märät vaatteeni ja asetuin selinmakuulle jooga-matolleni. Tein hengitysharjoituksia ja kävin läpi menneet viikot.

MIKÄ HERKISTI? Olimme keikalla Saksan Karlsruhessa, jossa opiskelin vuosina 2000-2002. Kävin päiväkävelyllä yliopistoni pihalla, kun törmäsin sattumalta entiseen piano-opettajaani. Oli ihanaa, että hän muisti minut kaikkien vuosien jälkeen. Juttelimme, kuinka antoisia yliopistoajat olivat.

MIKÄ EI MENNYT PUTKEEN? Sain flunssan. Pelkäsin, miten viimeisten keikkojen käy, jos sairastun kunnolla. Onneksi sitruunainkiväärijuoma ja englantilainen yrttitee pelastivat tilanteen.

KUINKA RENTOUDUIT? Juoksen seitsemän kilometrin lenkkejä. Minulla on juoksemiseen viharakkaussuhde. Se pistää ajatukseni liikkeelle ja mieleni järjestykseen. Pääkoppani raksuttaa tosin myös lenkillä, mutta ajattelen silti aina, että onneksi lähdin. Pyrin juoksemaan viisi kertaa viikossa.

MITÄ ODOTIT? Näkeväni perheeni. Mieheni Marcelo ja tyttäreni Naomi ovat minulle kaikki kaikessa. Ehdimme olla mieheni kanssa kymmenen vuotta yhdessä ennen kuin Naomi kuusi vuotta sitten syntyi. Nekin ajat olivat ikimuistoisia, mutta nyt olen saanut perheestämme entistäkin enemmän voimaa ja energiaa.

MISTÄ TUNSIT YLPEYTTÄ? Miehestäni, joka on nykyisin koti-isänä. Se mahdollistaa minulle paljon.
