Ilmajoki Music Festival

Savonlinna Opera Festival

The holiday season, the glittering waters of Lake Saimaa and the unique atmosphere of a Finnish lakeside town combine to provide memorable experiences at this world-famous festival. Our programme in 2019 will include a new production of Rossini’s Barber of Seville that fully explores the twists and turns of this fast-paced sitcom. Familiar favourites will return in the form of Verdi’s Rigoletto and Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio. The world-famous opera house La Scala Milan will link our festival to an unbroken tradition of performance dating back to the birth of Verdi’s operas and of all of the world’s operettas, and a Vienna Volksoper production of Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus will even inspire the birds of Olavinlinna Castle to dance along.

Tampere Vocal Music Festival

More than two thousand friends of vocal music from around the world will gather in Tampere for a programme of concerts, an international ensemble singing competition and a chorus review providing a marvellous experience for all music enthusiasts. High standard master classes will also impart insight into the secrets of music making.

Vaasa Choir Festival

This festival is a major international celebration of choral music. The joyous community celebration at the end of the singing season is open to all choirs. The programme will bring song and choral music to churches, concert halls, schools and restaurants.
