Tove Teuvalla

About

The Korsholm Music Festival produces a new opera in the summer of 2024. The opera TOVE TEUVALLA will get its premiere in the Teuva Church, as part of the Music Festival. The events and theme of the opera are wrapped around Tove Jansson's only sacred work, the Teuva Church altarpiece "Ten virgins". It will be an influential and light-bringing work that connects Tove and Teuva, the individual and the community. It moves on many levels, paying attention to beauty and hope in the midst of the pain of the surrounding world. Director: Jorma Uotinen Soloists: Mia Heikkinen, Johanna Rusanen, Niklas Spångberg, Tuomas Miettola, Elli Vallinoja, Mika Nikander, Minna-Sisko Mutanen Vaasa City Orchestra, conductor Anna-Maria Helsing Vaasan Oopperakuoro There will be four showings of the bilingual TOVE TEUVALLA in the Teuva Church in summer of 2024.
