Mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter enchants in a Christmas concert

The Swedish Anne Sofie von Otter is perhaps the most versatile, refined and successful mezzo-soprano in the Nordic countries, and as an interpreter of Jean Sibelius’s songs, a true gift to Finnish audiences. She is at home – and at her best – in almost any genre, as long as the music is good.

In the beloved singer’s Christmas concert, audiences will hear classical Christmas songs from across Europe, Swedish folk carols, highlights of popular holiday music, and of course Sibelius’s Christmas songs. She will be joined on stage by Bengt Forsberg (piano), Fabian Fredriksson (guitar, electric guitar) and Philippe Thuriot (accordion).

Grammy Award-winning Anne Sofie von Otter is one of the most esteemed singers of our time. Over a career spanning more than four decades, she has appeared on the world’s most important opera and concert stages and recorded an extensive repertoire ranging from opera and lieder to lighter music.

In Finland, von Otter has been heard as an orchestral soloist and recitalist throughout her long career, from Helsinki to Rovaniemi. Especially memorable was her powerful portrayal of Charlotte Andergast in Sebastian Fagerlund’s opera Autumn Sonata (Höstsonaten), based on Ingmar Bergman’s film, at the Finnish National Opera in 2017.

The concert lasts approx. 2 hours, including an interval.

Programme is subject to change.
