I just attended an opera performance in Turku, Finland… Mikko Heiniö’s new opera “Eerik XIV” … nice opera, I must say, the soloists were great… the choir and orchestra (Turku Philarmonic Orchestra) were great…
Charlotte Hellekant was brilliant in her role as the King Erik XIV of Sweden (kinda interesting that a woman has a male role)… and I must say that especially Lennart Forssén as the King’s secretary, Jesper Taube as Nils Sture, Helena Juntunen as Karin Månsdotter and Juha Kotilainen as Bovik the Tartar were great too…
