Two Raymondas
Last week I went to see the ballet Raymonda (music of course by Alexandr Glazunov) in the firm belief that I had never seen it before. However, I discovered that it had been performed in the very same...

I loved Turandot
My first opera of the year was Turandot, a co-production with Malmö Opera, which has received varied reviews in the newspapers. Helsingin Sanomat writes of it being of orientalistic prettiness, conv...

Sofi Oksanen's Opera
Well,actually it was sold as Innocence by Kaija Saariaho. I have liked her music, but I didn't care for this one. In my ears the music was average mid-20th century modernism. It largely was in the bac...

Overdue Ballet Remarks
It's been almost two weeks and I haven't bothered to say anything about Triple Bill: Made in Finland, which isn't in the repertoire any more. However, I thought to write a few words yet. 1. In Surge ...

Billy Budd
Last week I saw Benjamin Britten's Billy Budd, directed by Annelise Miskimmon. The previous live opera I'd seen was incredible enough Das Rheingold in September 2019. It felt good to hear live singing...

At long last, Spartacus
Not that I have been particularly waiting to see Spartacus, but it's been a year since I've been at Töölö Bay. So, at long last, a week ago I saw the new choreography of Spartacus by Lucas Jervies to...
