The Jyväskylä Opera
Jyväskylä Opera – Bringing Grand Opera to Central Finland
Jyväskylä Opera is a vibrant cultural organization dedicated to producing high-quality operatic performances in Central Finland. With a professional cast, acclaimed choir, and collaborations with leading conductors and directors, the opera brings both classic masterpieces and exciting new interpretations to the stage.
Upcoming Production: Lucia di Lammermoor
A rare treat for opera lovers in Finland!
At the turn of the year, Jyväskylä Opera presents Gaetano Donizetti’s romantic masterpiece Lucia di Lammermoor, a rarely performed gem in Finland. First premiered in Naples in 1835, this stunning opera is a prime example of bel canto—a style known for its beautiful, technically demanding vocal lines.
The opera is especially renowned for Lucia’s famous mad scene, a dazzling display of vocal virtuosity that has become one of the most iconic moments in the entire operatic repertoire. Audiences will also experience the emotionally charged sextet that concludes Act II, widely considered one of Donizetti’s most powerful ensemble pieces.
