Savonlinna Opera Festival

Are you a chamber-music aficionado? Or do you like rock so raucous it makes
your ears bleed? Whatever your pleasure, Finland has a music festival to suit.
Savonlinna's castle is the dramatic setting for a month-long
opera festival
; fiddlers
gather at Kaustinen for full-scale folk; Pori, Espoo and Tampere attract thousands
of jazz fans; workaday Seinäjoki flashes sequins and high heels during its five-day
tango festival; Turku's Ruisrock is one of several kicking rock festivals; and the Si-
belius Festival in Lahti ushers in autumn with classical grace.
