Helsinki City Theatre.
An all-time classic and smash hit familiar to everyone who lived through the 1980s, Mörköooppera brings joy to the City Theatre’s Small Stage.
The songs from Marjatta Pokela’s Mörköooppera come together in a thrilling and delightful adventure in which Mörkö leaves the enchanted land of Mökkyrä to explore Helsinki before eventually returning home.
Mörkö takes us on a journey that explores the world through a child’s eyes and reveals the importance of unspoilt nature and the diversity of human life. Colourful characters, energetic dance and captivating music and songs bring it all vividly to life.
The music for this production for the whole family is arranged and performed by multi-instrumentalist Lauri Schreck. The choreography is by Jyrki Karttunen.
Performance rights are administered by the estate of Marjatta Pokela.
“The production is a dazzling collection of visual elements that capture a child’s imagination, intriguing and entertaining characters and, above all, music reinvented for today.” Helsingin Uutiset 25.3.2018
“Helsinki City Theatre’s Mörköooppera serves up musical theatre for the whole family and all the senses. This superbly crafted children’s musical leaves adults equally astonished and enchanted, laughing and deeply moved.” Riffi 24.3.2018 – Tommi Saarela
