THE BEAUTIFUL VEERA MUSICAL PLAY BY PROFESSIONAL SINGERS IS CHARMING

 A Finnish classic, Tatu Pekkarinen’s musical comedy Beautiful Veera, or Ballad from Saimaa.

Actress-singer Anu Hälvä, who will also take to the stage in the role of Mrs. Tolka, has arranged and directed the highly popular performance starring a wonderful group of singers.

– Music plays a very important role in this production – all members of our team are

professional singers, but they also have strong stage experience.

The performance will feature familiar classics, such as Beautiful Veera and Saimaa Waltz, as well as several

Finnish tangos. The work has been updated by Anu Hälvä.

The original play tells the story of the tar steamer Princess Armada, which sails on Lake Saimaa during the Russian Revolution,

but the time has been changed in this version, and the Russian Revolution is not discussed at all.

According to the original story, the beautiful Veera has been hired as a coffee maker on the ship; Emilia Vesalainen-Pellas plays the title role. Along the way, the story involves many characters, such as the handsome young man

Rikhard (Riku Pelo), and there are no surprises. Humor and romance are promised!

Other roles include the 2016 Tango King, the velvet-voiced Marco Lundberg, Anu Hälvä,

Roope Pelo, Olli Tuovinen and Anne Korpelainen. The musician is the virtuoso accordionist Samuli Jokinen. The costumes are by Seija-Kiuru Lavasteen.

The duration of the performance, including intermissions, is approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.
