Savonlinna Opera Festival

The most significant event in Savonlinna and one of the most famous festivals in the whole country is the Savonlinna Opera Festival.

For decades, the festival has gathered the high and mighty and the great unwashed together to enjoy opera masterpieces and spectacular singing in the medieval Olavinlinna Castle. And how beautifully the arias echo from the robust rocky walls!

The classic operas, medieval setting, the Lake Saimaa archipelago and the magnificent Finnish summer create a combination that makes your heart sing.
