"Helping Hooves Music Festival in Ponyville a Big Success!" "Countess Coloratura Shines in Helping Hooves Music Festival." These were just a few of the headlines sweeping across Equestria. The most eye-catching and head-turning headlines, however, read not of the charity festival, but of the hip-hop pony herself: "Countess? Coloratura." "The Countess Hangs Her Veil." "Coloratura, Countess No More?"

It is the beginning of a new musical career for Coloratura. Since her charity concert in Ponyville, she has begun to modify her music and her shows to reflect her true self. With her new manager, Show Biz, she has been working hard to make her vision a reality. In the aptly named "The Unveiled Tour," Coloratura will introduce her true self and new musical style without the makeup and the veil. She and Show Biz have scheduled dates and locations for the new tour. Thanks to Show Biz, DJ Pon-3 and Octavia Melody will be touring with them as Coloratura's opening act!

In the latest issue of The Manehattan Review, columnist, Buried Lede, had gotten the inside scoop:

"The Unveiled Tour marks the beginning of a new direction for singing sensation, Coloratura. Formerly known as Countess Coloratura, the pop icon has written new songs and will perform an entirely new show.

"'The Unveiled Tour will be very different,' says Coloratura. 'The music, the show itself, all different. It's a self-portrait, reflecting who I really am.'

"On this new direction, Coloratura's new manager, Show Biz, said, 'Coloratura has heart and potential. She's the real artist here. I don't sit in the office pulling strings. Coloratura calls the shots. We work with each other to figure out the right stops to pull.'

"Concerning her new manager, Coloratura had this to say, 'Show Biz is so great to work with. He listens to what I have to say and respects my decisions. We've been working hard together to make this new tour happen. I cannot thank him enough.'

"Beginning in Canterlot (5th), The Unveiled Tour will kick off Coloratura's new career with stops in Rainbow Falls (7th), Whinnyapolis (9th), Manehattan (10th), Fillydelphia (11th), Baltimare (12th), Ponyville (15th), Las Pegasus (18th), Vanhoover (22nd), with the grand finale in the Crystal Empire (26th).
