Sigyn Hall, Turku Akseli Turku Music Festival |
|
 | ||
| Sigyn Hall, Turku, Linnankatu 60, Turku 20100, Finland Sunday 11-Aug-13 01:00pm Akseli by composer Kimmo Hakola is the new monologue opera composed for Jorma Hynninen. Akseli tells the story of the Finnish painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela, who is perhaps best known for his illustrations of the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. With this role, Jorma Hynninen bids farewell to the opera stages. The libretto written by Pekka Hako is partly based on Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s own writings. With seven scenes, he looks back at his youth in Paris and Berlin, his deep love for this wife Mary and the death of their daughter, his lifelong friend Louis Sparre… He reflects on the untouched surrounding wilderness, the soul of the Finnish people, Kalevala, the magical lights and colors of Africa and his passion for art. Please note that the performance is in Finnish.Image credit: Yehina Eweis | ||
