Tarja Turunen (Finnish pronunciation: ) (born August 17, 1977), full name Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen Cabuli, is a Finnish singer-songwriter and composer, a full lyric soprano. She is best known as an original member and the former lead vocalist of Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, founded by herself, Tuomas Holopainen and Erno Vuorinen in 1996. Towards the turn of the millennium the combination of hard and fast guitar riffs with Tarja's classical female lead vocals quickly aroused enthusiasm by critics and audience. This symphonic metal style soon was dubbed "opera metal" and inspired many other metal bands and singers.
