Un edificio muy elegante. Mucho cristal, mármol y madera fina… básicamente, si Ikea tuviera un hermano rico y culto, viviría aquí. La sala principal tiene una acústica tan buena que si alguien abre un caramelo en la fila 25 lo escuchas como si estuviera tocando en la orquesta. Los asientos son cómodos (aunque no probé dormirme). En el bar venden vino y champagne, pero ojo: si vas con cerveza en mano perderás automáticamente 3 puntos de sofisticación (como me pasó a mí). La cafetería es amplia, aunque la cola del intermedio parece más dramática que la propia ópera. Lo mejor: las vistas al lago Töölönlahti desde los ventanales. Lo peor: te sientes tan culto que luego da pereza volver a casa a ver Netflix.

War das erste Mal in der Oper in Helsinki, ja sie ist optisch nicht so bombastisch. Aber die inneren Werte sind maßgebend, die CircOoppera 2.0 Inszenierung war hervorragen, Musik und die Akrobatik passten, der Chor war mitten drin, Solisten machten alles mit (Zaubershow), Der Abend steigerte sich von Stück zu Stück. Die Choreinlage vor dem letzten Akrobaten (das Todesrad) war absolut passend. Und wenn sagt die Finnen sind nicht mit Emotion versehen, der täuscht sich. Das Publikum in Deutschland geht nicht so mit, wäre schön wenn es eine solche Veranstaltung es in Deutschland gäbe. Aber man kann ja nach Helsinki fahren und das mit Gewissheit immer wieder. Danke für den schönen Abend 🫶
