Former VISIONS OF ATLANTIS Frontwoman Singing Opera
February 12, 2008Former VISIONS OF ATLANTIS singer Melissa Ferlaak has issued the following update:
"I will be working with the group Coro!, a group of opera singers in the Twin Cities, where we will present arias, duets, and ensembles from operas in concert style. Stay tuned for details on the upcoming performance April 26 and 27 (why is it that I always perform on my birthday?) called 'Saints and Sinners of the Opera.' I'll be performing Marguerite in the Faust trio for sure. But that's all I know at this point."
Ferlaak and former VISIONS OF ATLANTIS guitarist Wolfgang "Wops" Koch have announced plans to get married on May 3 in Minnesota. "He will be moving here at the beginning of March," Melissa said. "But the waiting is over! And finally, we can see each other every day instead of having to wait months before getting to see each other for a week or so, like it has been for the last year and a half that we have been together. It is the most cruel fate to be placed so distant from your muse."
Ferlaak and Koch left VISIONS OF ATLANTIS late last year due to "musical differences." As a result, the band's previously announced participation in the upcoming KAMELOT European tour has been cancelled. Koch has since been replaced by the returning guitarist Werner Fiedler, who was responsible for much of the songwriting on the group's first two records.
VISIONS OF ATLANTIS's latest album, "Trinity", was released in May via Napalm Records. The CD was recorded at Dreamscape Studios and was mastered at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland. The CD's cover artwork was created by Anthony Clarkson, who has previously worked with BLIND GUARDIAN, HYPOCRISY and EXODUS, among others.
