Aulis Sallinen's "The Palace", from the Savonlinna Opera Festival, 1995...'The Palace' describes the collapse of an impervious regime, corrupt to the point of absurdity and governed by an autocrat whose power rests in ludicrous ceremonies and bizarre rules of precedence. Sallinen’s music is like a kaleidoscope: rich, multi-coloured and many faceted. It is instantly appreciable and approachable.
Actors:
Chorus and Orchestra of The Savonlinna Opera Festi, Jaana Mantynen, Veijo Varpio
