It is better to go out in winter where snow will fall. I also want to cast one vote in such a voice, but I still have a good summer to taste Finland ‘s pretent catchphrase “the country of forest and lake”. It is still hard to resist the freshness of air and green, its unique charm. Well, to the northeast from the capital Helsinki to the Russian border, Savonlinna is one of Finland’s best resorts, about 5 hours by train.
Opera performances are being held in the courtyard of Oravi Castle, a fortress floating on the lake. Olavi Castle is one of Finland’s three major castles, which is completed in 1475, and you can enjoy the opera to your heart’s content in a fantastic atmosphere surrounded by lake water. It was in 1967 that the festival began regularly, and now it has grown into a festival that will take place throughout July.
In the festival there are many Finnish opera singers who singing in the worldwide, and orchestra is also high level. The festival is also a skill group who is also moving abroad performances. In addition, since 2010, a vocal competition will be established, the final Round will be held during the festival.
