Händel’s finest baroque opera for the first time at the Savonlinna Opera Festival.

Carmen

Return of the favorite. Carmen is about burning lust, jealousy and fatalism of an untamed woman.

La traviata

With his music that sends shivers up your spine, Verdi has made the story larger than life.

Werther
