Jossain esihistoriallisessa Soundissa Tolkki jo puheli aiheesta, tuolloin homman piti olla valmiina kesällä 2006. No, nyt projekti jo jotenkin näyttää startanneen.

STRATOVARIUS Guitarist TOLKKI Working On 'Rock Opera' Solo Album - Dec. 30, 2006
STRATOVARIUS mainman/guitarist Timo Tolkki has issued the following update:
"[My new solo album] 'Saana - Warrior of Light' is a work in progress.
"[For the past] two years I have had this idea in my head and it won't leave me be. It will be a rock opera, but not in a sense that many of the records using 'rock or metal opera' are. All the singers in this are carefully chosen and I have been auditioning singers already six months. So it's not just that I invite some famous names to sing something. The character that sings the part really has to fit and feel the meaning of the music and lyrics. I have spent quite some time with the top candidates to get to know them personally. This is very important when I will write the music. And I prefer them to be new talents.
"During Christmas I have been writing the story and it just pours out of me. I am writing it in Finnish, but I will translate it in English after it's ready. I have been negotiating with several record companies about this release and the interest has been very good. There will be a press release in about a month and a website dedicated for this project. Then the cast will be revealed as well.
"There have been some rumours about Tarja Turunen (ex-NIGHTWISH) playing the main role but those are untrue. Although I first wanted a Finnish person for the main role, the story has evolved so much that it is not necessary anymore."
