Nightwish Phantom of the Opera (Tarja) | Marko is the PERFECT Phantom! Musicals Songwriter Reacts

🎤 Welcome back to Listen In Colour with Rachel Walker Mason!

Reacting to Nightwish – Phantom of the Opera with Tarja Turunen (not Floor!) and the incredible Marko Hietala. From my own classical singing and musical-theatre background, I break down why Tarja’s light, flexible voice feels so familiar, how Marko’s raspy rock power finally makes the Phantom dangerously sexy, and why this version is now my absolute favourite.

We geek out on the song’s history (written for Sarah Brightman, original rocky vision, Steve Harley vs Michael Crawford), the stunning “princess and monster” vocal contrast, and that insane finale with rock screams and wailing guitar. Plus you get to see my synesthesia colours in real time!

If you love Nightwish, musical theatre, epic vocal analysis or just ridiculously good covers – this one’s for you.
