Leevi Madetoja: The Ostrobothnians

Overview

Finland may be the happiest country on earth, but it is also known as the land of a thousand sad songs. Lurking in the shadows of this Nordic welfare state are violence, alcoholism and inequality. A century after its premiere, the most Finnish of all operas is now being performed in a new production at the Helsinki Opera House.

Directed by Ilmari Aho, Paavo Westerberg
