World Première
Lemminkäinen is on a quest to find a wife – the girl the moon wants and the sun sighs for. In order to win her he must hunt the Devil’s elk, ride the Devil’s horse and shoot a swan. But unseen danger lies in wait for him on Death’s river.
This new chamber opera from the composer and librettist of
The Adventures of Pinocchio (2008) is based on the Finnish folk tale,
Kalevala, and is designed for a family audience, making an ideal introduction to opera.
Suitable for ages 7+.
