Before the public had the chance to understand what is it all about, the gorgeous lady disappeared and her presence was replaced by Tarja's crew, who lifted up the huge crimson veil covering all the stage. The public had 20 minutes to make all the possible suggestions of the purpose of this object and whether it will be removed or not. At last the queen of the evening appeared on the stage, crimson veil falling splendidly to her feet.
