A one-of-a-kind concert series at Musiikkitalo

In autumn 2024, The Orchestra of the Finnish National Opera (FNO) will enchant audiences at Musiikkitalo with the launch of a new, unique concert series. Concertgoers will be treated to gems of orchestral music and vocal performances by leading names from around the world. The programme reflects the full variety of life and human emotions.

The 2024–2025 season will feature a series of four concerts, with solo performances by sopranos Karita Mattila and Kristine Opolais, tenor Josep Calleja, bass-baritone Johan Reuter, and bass Mika Kares. In addition to Chief Conductor Hannu Lintu, the orchestra will be conducted for the first time in Helsinki by the brilliant, internationally acclaimed young talents Roderick Cox and Aivis Greters.

The concert series by The Orchestra of the FNO at Musiikkitalo is made possible by the financial support of Hannele and Henrik von Wendt.

The concert on 15 August is part of the Helsinki Festival programme.
