Source: Eesti KontsertJuly/16/2021

The Saaremaa Opera Festival 2021 will take place from 20 to 24 July. The main performer of the Festival this year is the prestigious St. Petersburg Chamber Opera, which will replace the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb due to the pandemic. The internationally renowned Estonian bass vocalist Ain Anger will be the last performer of the festival.



The artistic director of the theater, Yuri Aleksandrov, founded the artistically excellent St. Petersburg Chamber Opera, which has won numerous awards, in 1987, at a time when the audience expected new creative ideas from theatres. The troupe, which started as an art laboratory, immediately established itself in St. Petersburg as a “searching theatre” and a “living opera”. The theatre’s repertoire is unique and they will perform the best works of music culture from different countries and eras. Over the years, the chamber theatre grew into the St. Petersburg Chamber Opera – a professional state theatre that is well-known both in Russia and around the world, and whose productions have won many of Russia’s most prestigious theatre awards, the Golden Mask and the Golden Sofitt. This summer, the troupe will also perform in Cairo, Belgrade, Greece, and Dubai.
