Tampere-talo Group
Tampere-talo Ltd. and Talo Events Ltd. will form the Tampere-talo Group starting from the beginning of 2024.
The Tampere-talo Group
As of January 1, 2024, Tampere Hall Ltd. will be divided into a new company structure. In the new corporate model, the parent company focusing on the promotion of culture and art will be Tampere-talo Ltd., and the subsidiary company, concentrating on commercial activities will be Talo Events Ltd.
Tampere-talo Group is Finland’s largest and most diverse event company in terms of repertoire, events, and visitor numbers. We operate in Tampere Hall and Tuulensuu Palace, and we also produce events and concerts outside these venues throughout Finland.
Tampere-talo Ltd.
Tampere-talo Ltd., serving as the parent company, focuses on promoting culture and art. Tampere-talo makes culture more accessible to various target groups through concert activities, Tampere Opera, visiting stage, and its own original concepts.
An important goal of the company is to produce events that are affordable or entirely free of charge. In addition, the parent company takes care of the Tampere Hall property and its long-term tenants.
In addition, the venue houses the full-scale Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, the à la carte restaurant Tuhto, and the world’s only Moomin Museum. Adjacent to the hall is the Courtyard by Marriott hotel.
Tampere Opera
Tampere Opera has been in operation since 1946, producing high-quality opera productions as well as the activities of the opera choir.
Tampere Opera operates with visiting forces, and the Tampere Philharmonic serves as the opera orchestra. The extensive production, which attracts an annual audience of approximately 10,000 spectators, is presented every spring at Tampere Hall.
Several world-renowned artists have performed as soloists, including Karita Mattila, Soile Isokoski, Jaakko Ryhänen, Jorma Hynninen, Marjukka Tepponen, Mika Kares, Tuuli Takala, and Tuomas Katajala. The productions have been directed by notable directors such as Ralf Långbacka, Jussi Tapola, Jukka Kajava, Arne Mikk, Kari Heiskanen, Marika Vapaavuori, Marco Bjurström, and Tuomas Parkkinen.
Visiting Stage
