Main Stage

An evening with Finland’s most famous opera star of whom The Guardian says ‘Her full-bodied, radiant soprano is still as powerful, her dramatic commitment on stage as voracious as ever.’

The two parts of the evening showcase two opposite extremes of emotion. Firstly, Poulenc’s powerful La voix humaine (The Human Voice) tells the touching story of an abandoned woman. The opera monologue of approximately 45 minutes is performed in melodramatic film noir style. After the interval the atmosphere changes dramatically, turning into a raucous show of musical classics and popular repertoire. Directed by Jussi Nikkilä and conducted by Dalia Stasevska, this event has been put together specifically to showcase the great artistry of Karita Mattila.

Streamed LIVE on OperaVision on 18 May 2022 at 18:00 CET and available until 18 November 2022: https://operavision.eu/en/library/per...
