Semperoper Dresden and Volksoper Wien to honour the 2015 season
The Savonlinna Opera Festival’s own new production for the 2015 season is Mussorgsky’s great masterpiece Boris Godunov based partly on the text by Russia’s national poet, Alexander Pushkin.

Two favourite classics from the Italian opera repertoire, Puccini’s Tosca and Verdi’s La traviata, will be back on the programme with their numerous popular arias. Tosca will be conducted by Philippe Auguin and the stage director is Keith Warner. The story of the Lady of the Camellias unfolds in the wickedly passionate La traviata, which returns to Olavinlinna Castle by popular request in the direction of Mariusz Treliński and will be conducted by a new Sa
