The year 2012 is one for great celebration at the Savonlinna Opera Festival. For 100 years will have passed since Aino Ackté, the most illustrious Finnish soprano of her day arranged the first opera festival in what were then still the "ruins" of Olavinlinna Castle. Now, a century later, the Castle has been transformed into one of the most unique opera stages in the world. The programme for the opera concert with Kuopio Symphony Orchestra is a unique collection spanning the entire 100-year history of the Festival and introducing beautiful excerpts from operas, such as, the Magic Flute, Boris Godunov, The Red Line, Horse Rider, Macbeth and Carmen.

Produced by the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra
Tickets: 39 / 34 / 28 €
The concert will also take place on Sun 4 March at the Helsinki Music Centre.

In cooperation with the Savonlinna Opera Festival
