Summary

Iconic composer Einojuhani Rautavaara's opera tells the story of Finland's national author, Aleksis Kivi. Kivi wrote the first significant novel in the Finnish language, Seven Brothers, but he suffered from moral and artistic condemnation by literary rivals. He died, insane and impoverished, at age 38. The Finnish National Opera production is conducted by Mikko Franck, staged by Pekka Milonoff, and stars Jorma Hynninen, at whose request the opera was written.
