The most spectacular show of the year

Following sold-out performances in 2022, CircOpera 2.0 makes its highly anticipated return to the Finnish National Opera in autumn 2025. Hold onto your seats, as this exhilarating fusion of contemporary circus and opera will take you on a thrilling ride.

Dazzling performances by world-class circus artists will leave you speechless, while the powerful sounds of the National Opera’s orchestra and chorus are guaranteed to make your heart sing.

This spectacle has earned nothing but rave reviews from both critics and audiences. Secure your seat now – these tickets are selling fast!

And remember, in autumn 2025, the CircOpera 2.0 experience begins long before the curtain rises. Arrive early, as surprises await in the Opera House foyers…

“The audience responded very intensely, holding their breath, gasping, and finally erupting into thunderous applause and cheers. The atmosphere never waned throughout the performance, with bursts of applause not only after each number but even mid-performance.”
