Oopperan Ja Baletin Joulu – Finnish National Opera, Helsinki

About this event

With Christmas just around the corner, the Opera House invites audiences to a celebration to remember. Our festive spectacle on the Main Stage is a fast-paced and heartwarming rollercoaster full of surprises. Christmas at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet brings together beloved carols from around the world, capturing the magical mood of the season. This family-oriented show peeks into Santa’s grotto, swings to the sound of jazz, sparkles beneath a disco ball and stirs the heart under a starry winter sky. The evening unfolds from dance and roller-skating numbers to dazzling surprises, including a special appearance by Santa himself.
