The classic fairy tale Bird Blue, created by Zacharias Topelius, has charmed generations after generations. The themes Topelius writes about are still relevant today and appealing to children seeking their place in today’s society.

The Bird Blue tells the story of a brave and kind-hearted Princess Flonar and Prince Amundus, who has been transformed into a bird. The themes of the fairy tale – justice, love, courage and loyalty – are timeless. This classic is now performed in the framework where beautiful illustrations, the story and music form an unforgettable experience.

The concert is produced with the support of the North Savo Cultural Fund.
