Bask in the glow of the new season
Javier Torres – Peter Tchaikovsky
Sleeping Beauty
24.8.2018 – 15.9.2018
The family favourite returns to the repertoire
The familiar story about the bewitched princess Aurora, the good and evil fairies, and the adventurous prince truly comes into its own as a ballet. The stunning costumes and sets evoke a richly colourful fairy-tale world, which will enthrall the entire audience from young children to adults.
Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Phantom of the Opera
2.11.2018 – 12.1.2019
Over 100 sell-out performances in Finland and Sweden
One of the most popular productions ever at the Finnish National Opera, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s blockbuster musical The Phantom of the Opera, makes a comeback to the Opera House in November 2018.
Giacomo Puccini
Tosca
7.9.2018 – 18.10.2018
The opera to end all opera
Limitless love, scathing hatred, music bursting with emotion – what more can you expect from an unforgettable opera experience?
Carolyn Carlson - Serge Lifar
A French soiree
28.9.2018 – 20.10.2018
Two poetic dance stories
A French soiree presents two totally different dance works – naturally with a good dose of French elegance. Carolyn Carlson’s Pneuma is sophisticated and philosophical, an ode to humanity. Serge Lifar’s Suite en Blanc radiates the style and glamour of pure classical ballet.
Richard Wagner
The Flying Dutchman
14.9.2018 – 11.10.2018
A new perspective on a classic
Kasper Holten, one of the most celebrated stage directors of our time, brings to the FNO a new interpretation of Wagner’s masterpiece. In his production, an urban environment and the tempestuous world of the international art trade are underpinned by the power of love and the sea.
Jacques Offenbach
The Tales of Hoffmann
19.10.2018 – 20.11.2018
An incredibly inventive look at love problems
A poet details the great loves of his life – we promise you’ll find this story so entertaining that you’d never want it to end.
