The main event of theKaija Saariaho Village in Tampere Hall in March will be the Finnish premiere of the ensemble version of Saariaho’s masterful oratorio La Passion de Simone.
La Passion de Simone is based on the life and ideas of the French philosopher Simone Weil (1909-1943), who impressed Saariaho as a teenager. The fifteen-station oratorio is inspired by the fourteen stops on Jesus’ Way of the Cross, the fifteenth being the end of the journey.
The work features Saariaho’s trusted orchestra Avanti! and the Paris-based musical theatre group La Chambre aux echos. The vocal soloist is Japanese soprano Sayuri Araida and the actress is French actress Isabelle Seleskovitch. The conductor is Clément Mao-Takacs and the stage director is Aleksi Barrière.
