”World class opera in a medieval lakeside castle, under the barely setting sun of the magical Nordic summer – this is only possible at Savonlinna Opera Festival.” – Artistic Director Ville Matvejeff.

Taking place in the enchanting medieval Olavinlinna Castle in Finland, the Savonlinna Opera Festival has long been celebrated for blending breathtaking scenery with unforgettable opera.
