Introduction

Fear, anger, pain and longing for pardon. Giuseppe Verdi harnesses the tactile tone of his operas to describe the extreme feelings of a man who is struggling with the inevitability of death. Timo Riihonen continues in the footsteps of the great Finnish basses as he accompanies acclaimed international soloists. Maria Bengtsson has unfortunately been obliged to cancel her appearance and the soprano role will be sung by Jennifer Holloway.
