Akseli is a new monologue-opera about the life of Akseli Gallen-Kallella, composed by Kimmo Hakola for Jorma Hynninen. Jorma Hynninen will bid farewell to the opera stage with the role. The libretto by Pekka Hako is partly based on Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s own writings. The monologue opera takes place in seven moments of his life.
