Nightwish recorded a second demo with “more bombastic, dramatic” songs in September 1997. Holopainen used this material to convince the Finnish label Spinefarm Records to publish the band’s debut album, Angels Fall First. The success of the first album came as a surprise to the label. As the album hit the top 40 of the Finnish charts, Nightwish started their tour The First Tour of the Angels. That same year, Turunen performed at the Savonlinna Opera Festival for the first time, singing songs from Wagner and Verdi.
On the following albums the singing was technically more complex. On the Nightwish album Oceanborn (1998), her classical vocal training was much more noticeable. For the song “Passion and the Opera”, Turunen performed a staccato coloratura reminiscent of the aria “Hell’s vengeance boils in my heart”, sung by the soprano role Queen of the Night in Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. “Sleeping Sun” required a well-trained breathing technique. Turunen explained in an interview that when they recorded Oceanborn, she had serious doubts, fearing that she was not yet advanced enough in her studies to have mastered the required techniques.
