Scenes From Finland

Description

Finland in music: between legends, mystery, and poetry! From Sibelius to Tuukkanen, this program explores the richness of 20th-century Finnish stage music. Scaramouche dives into the fascinating world of commedia dell’arte, dreams, and the macabre, while Palmgren revisits folk tales through a poetic reinvention of Cinderella. Englund shines with the music from the cult film The White Reindeer, awarded at the Jussi Awards. Finally, Tuukkanen's Christmas Suite delicately evokes the major episodes of the Nativity. A journey to the heart of Nordic imagination, where theater, legend, and music become one.
