The Castle in the Water: a new work for Savonlinna

Matthew Rye, 30th January

Savonlinna’s contribution to the centenary has been to commission a new work from the country’s senior operatic composer, Aulis Sallinen. Not an opera per se in this case, but what he describes as a “chronicle for speaker, four singers, orchestra and Olavinlinna”.

“Amid the black water": a sensational new work from Aulis Sallinen at the Savonlinna Festival

Dominic Lowe, 8th July

The Castle in the Water, Sallinen's new “chronicle”, is a new work of innovative beauty. Tragic, comic and epic, in seventy-five minutes it tells the history of Olavinlinna and gives a snap-shot of those connected to it.
