PerformancesPaavo the Great. Great Race. Great Dream. was performed twice in the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in 11–12 August 2000. The original premier date was 10 August, but the first performance was cancelled in April due to the simultaneous Tina Turner concert in the nearby Finnair Stadium.[3] The opera was produced by Helsinki City Theatre under the direction of Kalle Holmberg. Music was performed by Sinfonia Finlandia and the official representative band of the Finnish Army, Kaartin Soittokunta.[4]The spectacular open-air show included special effects like burning haystacks, a real army helicopter and armored vehicles. The opera was praised by the critics, but was not a box-office success as only 20 000 spectators appeared in two shows. The latter performance was filmed and broadcast live by the Finnish Broadcasting Company. In September it was sent throughout Europe by the Franco-German TV network Arte, preceding the opening of the 2000 Summer Olympics.[2] In the late 2003 the Paavo Nurmi Opera was performed in Turku by the Turku Opera Association and Turku Philharmonic Orchestra. The production turned out to be a financial disaster causing great losses for the opera association.[5] RolesThe opera has four main characters; Paavo Nurmi, his spouse Sylvi Nurmi, the later president of Finland Urho Kekkonen and the mysterious "Dark Lady".
