PERFORMED IN FINNISH, GERMAN, FRENCH
Ladies, gentlemen and little ones! See the world’s strongest man and hear the world’s largest circus orchestra! Experience hair-raising choral sound and an acrobat hanging by the hair! You will not see this anywhere else!
Opera and circus – when these two grandiose art forms were first put together, the result was a mind-blowing spectacle that sold out lightning fast. In autumn 2019 the Opera House will again turn into a circus, as CircOpera makes a rapturous re-entrance.
The show by international music and acrobatics stars makes for an ideal first experience of either art form. Naturally, there’s a story about looking for love, and finding it – we are at the opera, after all.
Audience feedback
“CircOpera was exactly the kind of cheerful and energetic performance you need to get through the pessimism of the Finnish autumn! Enchanting, magical, exciting!”
“Excellent entertainment. I warmly recommend this to everyone looking for a fun and relaxing evening.”
“An incredible show. Excitement and exhilaration for children, fueled by music. Visually impressive and wonderful for adults, too. I recommend this for all ages. Truly entertaining and memorable. In the words of a 10-year-old: This was the best birthday present you could imagine!”
“CircOpera was my best ever experience at the opera. Beautiful, wonderful, bold, exciting, fun, exultant. The applause and yelling of the audience was just as authentic.”
