Avantasia, the project led by Edguy frontman Tobias Sammet, is putting the finishing touches on the new double DVD “The Flying Opera – Around The World In 20 Days” for an early March release via Nuclear Blast Records in Europe and Avalon Marquee in Asia.

According to a press release, the DVD is a documentary of the 2008 tour of Avantasia, which brought them to three continents within a few days. The first DVD contains a live concert of almost two hours filmed at the headlining shows of Wacken Open Air in Germany and Masters Of Rock in Czech Republic. The second DVD contains a movie, “Around The World In 20 Days”, that follows Avantasia backstage during the tour. "The Flying Circus - Around The World In 20 Days" will be available as a two-disc DVD set featuring the documentary movie, a live concert film, and additional bonus material. It will be also available as a double live album on CD and as a limited-edition two-CD/two-DVD box set.
